Schools warned over AI image abuse threat
Published 2 weeks, 1 day ago
Description
The eSafety Commissioner has issued a warning to Australian schools about posting photos and videos online following a sharp rise in image-based abuse of staff and students. More than 100 reports were received between January and March this year, with anonymous social media accounts using images harvested from school websites and Facebook pages to create AI-generated dance videos, face swaps and fabricated stories about principals and staff. Reports of digitally altered intimate images involving under-18s doubled last year, prompting schools to review their online posting practices, consent procedures and privacy settings.
