Protecting students from deepfake sexual abuse.
Adaptive, in partnership with 2025 TIME100 recipient and deepfake safety advocate Elliston Berry, and Pathos Consulting Group, is providing free deepfake safety training for U.S. schools.
Deepfakes are not a hypothetical problem
Elliston Berry was 14 when a classmate used AI to create and spread non-consensual images of her and her friends.
Today, 1 in 8 people know a child who has been targeted by deepfake nudes — nearly all of them girls — according to Thorn.
What’s at stake
The Take It Down Act helps remove content after harm occurs. Education prevents it in the first place, by helping students, parents, and educators:
Understand what deepfakes are and how they’re used
Recognize when something crosses a line into abuse
Know what to do immediately if an incident happens
Understand their rights under the Take It Down Act
Have difficult conversations safely and responsibly
