Protect your family from deepfakes.
AI-generated images are everywhere your kids are online. Witness gives your family a simple way to check what is real and what is not.
The internet your kids browse is not the one you grew up with.
AI-generated images and videos are realistic enough to fool adults. Children have even less experience telling the difference.

kids encounter AI content on social feeds
Real risks, not hypotheticals.
Fake celebrity content
AI-generated videos and images of celebrities promoting scams, products, or ideas they never endorsed. Kids trust familiar faces.
AI-generated profile photos
Catfishing accounts use AI-generated faces that look completely real. These profiles target young people on social media and messaging apps.
Manipulated images of classmates
Non-consensual intimate images created with AI are a growing problem in schools. Early detection helps protect kids and their peers.
Misinformation and fake news
AI-generated images make false stories more believable. Kids developing their understanding of the world are especially vulnerable.

Get a clear verdict together

Conversation starters by age.
You do not need to be a tech expert. You just need to start the conversation. Here are some ways in.
"Did you know computers can make pictures of things that never happened?"
Start with curiosity, not fear. Show them an obvious AI image and a real photo side by side. Let them guess which is which.
"Have you ever seen something online that seemed too good or too weird to be true?"
At this age, kids are forming habits around social media. Frame checking images as a smart habit, like looking both ways before crossing the street.
"Some people use AI to create fake images of real people. What would you do if you saw one?"
Teens understand nuance. Talk about consent, reputation, and what to do if they or a friend become a target. Make sure they know they can come to you.
"Let's check this together."
Make verification a shared activity, not surveillance. Right-click an image together, look at the result, and talk about what it means. The habit matters more than any single scan.
Common questions.
How can I protect my child from deepfakes?
Install the Witness Chrome extension on your family's browser. Teach your child to right-click and check any image that seems off. Make verification a habit, not a punishment.
What age should I talk to my kids about deepfakes?
If your child uses social media or browses the internet independently, they are old enough for a basic conversation about AI-generated content. For younger children, focus on the idea that not everything online is real. For teens, discuss specific risks like fake endorsements and manipulated images.
Are deepfakes dangerous for children?
Deepfakes pose real risks for young people, including exposure to manipulated images, scams using fake celebrity endorsements, catfishing with AI-generated profiles, and misinformation. Teaching kids to verify what they see online is an important digital literacy skill.

Yes. Witness offers 5 free scans per day with no account required. Create a free account for 15 scans per day. The Chrome extension lets anyone in your household right-click any image to check it.
