14-Year-Old Investigated for Creating and Sharing AI-Generated Pornographic Deepfakes of Classmates
A kid with a phone did this to nine classmates. The tools have no age gate, the photos were public, and Spanish prosecutors now have to work out what to do with a 14-year-old.
The facts
A 14-year-old student in Logroño, Spain, used AI tools to create and disseminate pornographic deepfake images of nine underage classmates, using photos from their social media profiles without consent. The images were widely viewed online, causing significant harm to the victims' privacy and emotional well-being. Legal action is underway.
