The New South Wales Department of Education has expanded its Let's Stop Bullying campaign to address emerging threats from AI-generated deepfake imagery and synthetic voice recordings used to harass and humiliate students. The updated campaign materials, distributed to all public schools this week, include guidance for teachers and parents on recognizing AI-manipulated content and updated reporting pathways, following a 340 percent increase in reports of AI-enabled bullying incidents across NSW schools in the first half of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025.
Detection of AI-generated child sexual abuse material and deepfake harassment demands technology capable of recognizing synthetic imagery before it proliferates. Guardii operates dedicated detection modules for both AI-generated CSAM and cyberbullying that scan inbound direct messages in real time, identifying manipulated media and blocking distribution to the intended target across platforms including Instagram, Snapchat and Discord. By intercepting deepfake attacks at the moment of transmission, the system prevents the reputational and psychological harm that follows wide circulation, and surfaces the incident to school administrators and parents for coordinated response.
