SCHOOL EXPELS GIRL SEXUALLY ABUSED BY AI DEEPFAKES

9 policy fixes schools need to protect our children.

According to recent reports:

• AI-generated nude deepfakes have appeared in documented school incidents across multiple districts. A national survey cited by Education Week reports that 1 in 8 young people (ages 13–20) say they know someone targeted by AI-generated deepfake nude imagery, and 1 in 17 say they have personally been targeted.

• Roughly 1 in 10 minors say they know peers who have used generative AI tools to create non-consensual nude images of other minors.

• There have been multiple incidents in which students used AI tools to fabricate sexually explicit images of classmates and distribute them through social media platforms.

• Schools often resort to disciplinary codes that were not designed for this class of harm.

• Educators acknowledge gaps in preparedness and policy clarity when responding to synthetic-image harassment.

In one recent incident, despite one young victim’s repeated pleas for help:

• Her school authorities struggled to locate the images and expressed skepticism about their existence.

• Students continued to spread the AI-generated deepfake nude images of her.

• Her school expelled her when she fought back against her abusers.
