Here are the concrete steps every school community should take, starting today, October 22, 2025: * Review Your Digital Intake Protocol: If a digital threat lands, what is the *exact* escalation path? Does it immediately involve LEA digital forensics experts? Map it out now. * Mandate Advanced Training: Schedule mandatory, recurring training for all staff and faculty focused *specifically* on identifying indicators of AI-generated text, audio, and video. Generic cybersecurity training is no longer enough. * Integrate Media Literacy into Curriculum: Do not treat AI deception as an elective topic. It must be woven into English, Social Studies, and Health classes as a core component of responsible technology use. You can find great frameworks for this work by looking into the broader field of ethical technology adoption. [Internal Link Example: Ethical Technology Adoption in K-12] * Strengthen MFA Everywhere: Treat every faculty and administrative account as a potential point of compromise that could lead to a devastating AI impersonation attack. Implement mandatory, non-negotiable MFA across all platforms this quarter. This is not a time for fear; it is a time for decisive action and intelligent investment in human education alongside technological defense. The technology is advancing exponentially, and our readiness must keep pace.
