Parents are warned about the serious risks associated with sharing images of their children online, including identity theft, cybercrime, and long-term emotional issues. A survey indicated that parents in the UK average 63 uploads monthly, with many including sensitive information. Professor Carsten Maple highlighted that just 20 pictures can allow AI to create a realistic profile, exposing children to potential exploitation. The oversharing can result in damaging digital footprints that may affect a child's future well-being.
"It takes just 20 images for sophisticated AI tools to create a realistic profile of someone, or even a 30-second video."
"Oversharing by parents can lead to numerous problems for the child in the future, including digital records that can be extremely difficult and painful to remove."
