AI is making it difficult to teach cybersecurity using phony text, fake audio and manipulated video. This study analyzes these difficulties for Myanmar youth via secondary literature. It is based on scholarly articles, information on workplace risks and research conducted in Myanmar. It asks three questions: what is occurring, what may be the issue and how to respond. Discussion on phishing, impersonation, internet fraud, malware and ransomware. Basis is worldwide evidence and Myanmar/youth evidence. This shows out that internet literacy, validation procedures and trusted aid seeking might affect safe conduct. It provides a framework for connecting danger exposure, educational skills and preventive measures in local contexts. This has not been tested with this framework. It is presented just for debate and further investigation. They provide realistic validation exercises, teaching resources that are easy to grasp, security measures for businesses, and safe methods to get support. This paper does not use original data from surveys or interviews. It does not contain statistical analysis. It is qualitative synthesis and only rational recommendations. It doesn\"t measure the level of knowledge of young people today.
