I’m sending you this because I’ve been giving classes on AI safety, how to protect yourself, how to protect yourself with your Wi-Fi network, how to protect people from deepfakes, how to identify deepfakes. People are using clone videos with relatives that people love, having them, you know, basically reach out to them and, “Send me money. I’m wherever. I need help,” and so on. So trying to help people identify where these deepfakes are coming from and also how to protect yourself against these things happening against you in the future the best we can.
I’m a resident out here in Santa Clarita. I run businesses, but this isn’t a pitch. I’m not building a list. I come and I talk to various organizations and senior centers and these sorts of things, just depending on the alignment of the group. And I have the discussion 40 or 50 minutes or so. After that, when we’re finished, Roxy and I, my wife and my partner in the business and I, we come and we’ll have a Q and A after that as well. But again, there is no pitch. There is no list. This is all free service that we provide to people so they can best protect themselves and extend this to their family. It is a big deal.

- 02
Confirm the plan together

Bring your questions
Allow 40 to 50 minutes for the talk, plus Q and A. No phone or computer is needed to follow along.
Is the talk really free?
Yes. These talks are free for Santa Clarita Valley community groups. There is no sales pitch, upsell, or attendee list building.
Do members need to understand AI?
No. Connor uses plain English and everyday situations. Nobody needs a device, an account, or technical experience.
How much time should we set aside?
Allow 40 to 50 minutes for the talk, plus questions and answers. Tell Connor about your meeting’s time limit when you book.
What does our venue need?
Include your room setup and available screen or sound equipment in the booking notes. Connor will confirm what works before the date is agreed.
Is this a police department program?
No. 20 years LAPD. Connor speaks independently. “Ask the Scam Cop” is a nickname, not an official police service.
