A mother and her 14-year-old daughter are advocating for better protections for victims after AI-generated nude images of the teen and other female classmates were circulated at a high school in New Jersey.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the country, officials are investigating an incident involving a teenage boy who allegedly used artificial intelligence to create and distribute similar images of other students – also teen girls - that attend a high school in suburban Seattle, Washington.

The disturbing cases have put a spotlight yet again on explicit AI-generated material that overwhelmingly harms women and children and is booming online at an unprecedented rate. According to an analysis by independent researcher Genevieve Oh that was shared with The Associated Press, more than 143,000 new deepfake videos were posted online this year, which surpasses every other year combined.

    Pretty sure it’s illegal to create sexual images of children, photos or not.

    Maybe in your distopian countries where drawings are illegal. Absolutely absurd you’re promoting that as a good thing.

      I’m not exactly sure what your point is. In the article, a kid created an unwanted sexual depiction of another kid and spread it around. I do think that should be illegal.

        Yes but this thread is about just drawings in general. Deep faking someone into porn and spreading it around should absolutely be yourself. But it’s not “child porn”. It’s some type of harassment or defamation or something
