Assam Police has used AI images to raise awareness on social media about sharenting.
Assam Police has warned people against sharenting, a term coined 13 years back in 2010. It is a practice that describes parents sharing sensitive information about their children on online platforms.
Sharenting can lead to digital kidnapping, cyberbullying and put children at the risk of scammers and predators. Assam Police urged parents to protect their children from sharenting. It used AI-generated images to raise awareness against publicly sharing videos and photos of children on social media.
In a tweet with the hashtag ‘don’t be sharent’, Assam Police said, “Yet another awareness campaign of Assam Police goes viral. This time, it’s powered by AI! Here’s a thread listing media coverage.” The post had photos of four different children, each carrying a separate message.
Likes fade, but the digital scars remain.
