An AI-generated nude photo scandal has shut down a Pennsylvania private school. On Monday, classes were canceled after parents forced leaders to either resign or face a lawsuit potentially seeking criminal penalties and accusing the school of skipping mandatory reporting of the harmful images.


Parents test if school leaders can be prosecuted over failure to report AI nudes.

According to Marie-Helen Maras and Kenji Logie, researchers at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, the US could approach the "herculean task" of reducing the amount of nonconsensual sexually explicit deepfakes by introducing a legal liability. Ultimately, even in a world where all Internet intermediaries and governments agreed that content should be immediately removed, researchers concluded that "outlawing all deepfakes is unrealistic and unfeasible"—especially since all the harmful AI-generated images that are already out there are likely to "remain online indefinitely." But that's why proactive responses making it harder to upload AI-generated nonconsensual explicit images is critical to reduce harms as this content proliferates online, researchers urged, recommending a range of legal updates to protect US victims.
