Investigation launched after AI-generated nude photos circulate in New Jersey school

The Westfield Police Department in New Jersey is investigating a group of boys at Westfield High School who allegedly used artificial intelligence (AI) to create and share pornographic images of female students in group chats. The incident, which occurred over the summer but was only brought to the school's attention in October, has sparked concerns about cyberbullying and the misuse of AI technology. Experts warn that the prevalence of deepfake pornography, particularly involving minors, is a growing problem that law enforcement struggles to address. Parents and students are disappointed with how the school has handled the situation, and calls for stricter guidelines and education on responsible technology use are being made.
