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.
You’re getting downvoted but juvenile detention exists for a reason. All these people out here thinking children don’t understand that laws apply to them should be wondering why kids aren’t murdering each other or committing theft daily
And they are out by 18, they do get less than when adults commit the same crime.
Sure, but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be punished
They’re focusing on the kid aspect because that’s easier to fight in their eyes than the revenge porn angle, which I’m just gonna assume they’ve all gone and done
