Introducing the Safety Alerts Program: Protecting Yourself in a Connected World
In today's increasingly connected world, safeguarding your privacy and security is more important than ever. Digital safety concerns like AI-related harms, internet fraud, privacy breaches, and identity theft are becoming more common and sophisticated, making it essential to stay informed. That's why DSRI created the Safety Alerts program—designed to help you quickly learn easy strategies for better protecting yourself online, one tip at a time.
What are Safety Alerts?
Safety Alerts is a notification program designed to transform how individuals understand and defend against digital threats. Our mission is to provide timely, straightforward alerts that raise awareness of critical online safety issues—from the misuse of AI systems and harmful algorithms that jeopardize personal safety, financial stability, and privacy, to widespread phishing and fraud schemes. Addressing the full spectrum of digital safety harms—including psychological, financial, privacy and physical impacts—Safety Alerts equips audiences with clear, actionable guidance to navigate these complex digital dangers.
Each alert includes simple, step-by-step instructions or one-click solutions, ensuring that anyone—regardless of technical expertise—can take immediate steps to better protect their digital presence. By providing concise, practical guidance, Safety Alerts helps users manage online risks confidently, even in a world where digital threats can often feel overwhelming.
Safety Alerts Release Schedule and DSRI Initiatives
New Safety Alerts are published approximately every two weeks by the dedicated team at the Digital Safety Research Institute (DSRI).
In addition to producing Safety Alerts, DSRI maintains the AI Incident Database, which documents real-world cases of harm or near-harm caused by artificial intelligence deployments. This dual focus enables our team to address a wide range of current and emerging digital threats, ensuring comprehensive coverage across the evolving landscape of online safety risks.
Where to Find Safety Alerts
All current and past Safety Alerts are available at DSRI.org/Safety-Alerts. We also share new alerts on LinkedIn and offer an email subscription service so you can receive them directly in your inbox.
