About this episode

Elisabeth and Scott discuss the implications of AI-generated explicit images affecting minors in schools.

In this bonus episode of Consider Before Consuming , Elisabeth and Scott bring you into a conversation they’ve found themselves having often behind the scenes. As Fight the New Drug’s social media manager and presenter, Elisabeth is constantly immersed in current events, research, and the realities young people are facing online. Scott, who works more behind the scenes, intentionally keeps some distance, but hears about these stories secondhand. This episode is an opportunity to bridge that gap and bring listeners into that same conversation. Using a real case involving AI-generated explicit images at a small U.S. school—where 347 images were created of 59 minors—they break down what happened, what it reveals about the world young people are navigating today, and what parents and communities need to understand right now.
