Presented virtually, via Zoom

As a trusted member of your school’s leadership team, you manage sensitive information, coordinate financial transactions, and serve as a main point of contact for families, vendors, and other outside stakeholders. That central role makes you a likely target for AI-powered scams and deepfake deception, but it also puts you in a powerful position to be your school’s first line of defense. In this session, you’ll move through real-time simulations that reveal how these threats unfold. You’ll hear a voicemail that sounds exactly like your Head of School asking you to authorize a financial transaction. You’ll analyze messages designed to hijack your emotions, pressure your judgment, and bypass your critical thinking. You’ll see how images from your school’s own website can be weaponized to coerce or blackmail. Alongside these simulations, you’ll build practical habits of cognitive defense: learning how to slow down, verify sources, and recognize manipulation before it takes hold. You’ll leave with the instincts, protocols, and policies you need to help protect your school’s data, finances, reputation, and community.

Presented by Evan Harris, President of Pathos Consulting Group, this session is designed for those working within the AISNE network who may encounter AI-driven scams and deepfake threats. All roles are welcome.
