The rise of AI technology in schools has led to a disturbing trend where students are using deepfake technology to create sexually explicit images of their classmates. This phenomenon has been reported in both the United States and Australia. In one case, fifty girls at a regional Victorian private school in Australia had fake nude images of them created and shared on social media. This incident resulted in the arrest of a teenage boy. The use of AI for such malicious purposes is contributing to a new form of school bullying, with deepfake nudes and incriminating audio being used to harass and intimidate students. There is growing concern over the lack of action on image privacy in school districts, which puts students at risk. Schools, technology developers, and parents are being urged to take immediate action to address this issue. NewsNation and The Daily have reported on this trend, including one girl's fight to stop the spread of deepfake nudes.
