As our lives become increasingly connected, technology, social media, and artificial intelligence have created new and devastating ways to cause harm. This webinar explores the emerging and often misunderstood issue of cyber assault, the use of digital platforms and tools to harass, humiliate, or threaten individuals.
From the non-consensual sharing of intimate images (“revenge porn”) to AI-generated deepfakes, digital stalking, impersonation, and fabricated conversations, these acts can have life-altering impacts on victims. Yet accountability remains elusive: jurisdiction crosses borders, anonymity shields offenders, and law enforcement often lacks the training or legal framework to pursue justice.
Join us to learn about:
The many forms of cyber assault and their real-world consequences
How AI and social media amplify opportunities for abuse
Why traditional legal and investigative systems struggle to respond
Emerging strategies for prevention, policy, and victim support
