AI in 5: Deepfakes in Schools: Fake Media, Real Harm (May 18, 2026)
Last Sunday at 1:00 AM

What happens when a fake image, video, or audio clip looks real enough to destroy trust inside a school community? In this episode of AI in 5, AI Learning Guide JR dives into one of the fastest-growing concerns in education technology: deepfakes.

Deepfakes are AI-generated or AI-manipulated media designed to make someone appear to say or do something they never actually said or did. While the term once sounded like something reserved for celebrities or political campaigns, schools are now finding themselves directly impacted. Recent international reports detailed AI-generated explicit deepfakes targeting students, while cybersecurity experts are warning...
