In this segment of the YouTube video, presenters A and B outline a classroom approach for high‑school girls to recognize AI‑generated deepfake images and avoid related scams. They describe a hands‑on activity where students examine a deepfake photo, identify visual inconsistencies, and articulate why the image is fabricated. The lesson emphasizes critical questioning of source reliability—asking who sent the content, what it requests, and whether it could pose danger. Additionally, they provide concrete visual cues such as unnatural blinking and odd shadows, teaching students that overly sensational or “too crazy” content is likely fake. The overall goal is to build media‑literacy, skepticism, and safety awareness among young learners.

One thing we do is we have like a deepfake photo and we have them try to figure out which aspects are fake, like why it's fake. And that encourages them to think more critically about whether something's real or not, we hope. And then we obviously wrap it up by saying like, make sure you're asking yourself, does this come from a reliable source? Like it's a text message. And like, what's it asking me to do? Is that, could that be putting me in danger? Things like that.
Yeah, we also show like the younger kids We tell them that, yeah, AI can look real, but it's also— if it looks too crazy to be true, it probably is. And we show them to look for clues like unnatural blinking or weird shadows and teach them that if they see consistent signs of that, then it's probably a deepfake.
