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.

      Yep. Again, I am not a lawyer, but I imagine that your example might be a case for wrongful termination as Sexual harassment, which is illegal under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

        How is terminating someone for having done porn sexual harassment? Please show the law code which defines it that way since you’re looking up legal issues.

          " I am not a lawyer" x2
          “Okay, cite legal code like you’re a lawyer”"

          Really?

          Is it hard to imagine that bringing in deep fake porn into the office, wrongfully accusing someone of being a porn star, then firing them because of it might be considered sexual harassment?

            Yes, it is hard to believe because that isn’t in any way sexual harassment.
