The Dhaka Times Desk The United Nations children's agency UNICEF has already highlighted this deep fake as one of the biggest threats to children in an open letter.
Recently, children along with adults get the information they need through the use of internet or technology. So-called deepfake technology is able to create relatively accurate replicas of audio and video content, allowing your children to gain knowledge based on false information. Which is very dangerous for the cognitive development of our young children. Today, the United Nations Children's Organization is thinking about how to protect children from misinformation where the door of information technology is wide open. The United Nations children's agency UNICEF has already highlighted this deep fake as one of the biggest threats to children in an open letter.
A UN report has expressed concern that most children will grow up living in a digital environment filled with misinformation that will affect their future lives. Recently, parents are choosing different ways to save children from all kinds of wrong information. In that case, the videos or audios that parents watch on YouTube may not be suitable for their children. In that case, many parents open a separate Gmail account for their child or for their child. Apart from that, they search all the videos suitable for their child to watch in advance so that automatic recommendations keep coming in the case of suitable videos or audios. In that case, it is better for children to get used to watching videos or cartoons in English. Because this will increase their English skills.
Currently in Bangladesh, children below the age of 18 are considered children. According to many parents, their children live in a different world with friends, school-college coaching, and now it is not possible for parents to keep an eye on a child through Facebook. Recent school-going students may find themselves trapped in a web of misinformation on the Internet. In that case it is better for every parent to choose some sensible ways to solve it after discussion with them. Since it is the age of information technology, it is impossible to hold back children rather their problems can be identified and positively solved. In that case, the parents have to work very consciously. Every step must be taken very carefully so that the children do not consider them as his enemies. It is not possible for everyone to monitor what children are watching on the Internet, but it is possible to make them aware by openly discussing with them what is good and what is bad to see or what is good and what is bad.
Parents have immense importance in making children aware. In keeping with the times, the mindset of the parents should be changed properly. A friendly relationship with children is to develop children's confidence by openly discussing things that they cannot tell us. Recently, online sexual harassment activities are on the rise and children should be made to speak up in these cases. As soon as any such activity takes place, they should be made to understand that they should take shelter of the guardian. Another big part of raising children properly is the role of schools and colleges. At this age, children live in the school-college complex and life-long friends and playmates are mostly found in this school-college. So they need to be given the right knowledge in choosing the right friends. Recently, in the age of internet and online, in the education of children, schools and colleges should monitor this matter properly and make all the students aware.
