The Rise of Non-Consensual Deepfakes in Schools
Generative AI tools, while offering innovative solutions, are being misused among high school students to create non-consensual intimate imagery, known as deepfakes. Approximately 39% of surveyed students acknowledged encountering an NCI, with 15% reporting firsthand knowledge of such images being shared. The issue is particularly troubling as it predominantly involves students both creating and being depicted in these deepfakes, highlighting a concerning trend of peer victimization. Female students are disproportionately affected, comprising a significant majority of those depicted in these harmful images.
