Concrete steps if AI-generated nudes of you start circulating at school.

7 min · Reviewed 2026

The big idea

AI can generate fake nudes of real people from a single photo. If this happens to you or a friend, there are real legal and platform tools — you're not powerless.

Some examples

Take Down: NCMEC's tool removes underage AI nude images for free.
Screenshot the image and where it was posted, but don't redistribute.
Tell one trusted adult immediately — counselor, parent, or coach.
Most US states now have laws against non-consensual deepfakes.

Try it!

Bookmark takeitdown.ncmec.org now so you have it ready if you or a friend ever needs it.

Practice this safely

Try this with a school, hobby, or family example where the stakes are low. Use the AI output as a draft you can question, not as the final answer.

Ask AI to explain deepfake response in plain language, then underline anything that sounds uncertain or too broad.
Give it one detail from "AI and What to Do If Someone Deepfakes You" and ask for two possible next steps plus one reason each step might be wrong.
Check NCMEC takedown against a trusted source, teacher, adult, expert, or original document before you use it.
