L.A. school district probes inappropriate images shared at Fairfax High. More AI abuse?

Los Angeles school officials are investigating allegations that inappropriate photos were "created and disseminated within the Fairfax High School community," in what appears to be the latest alleged misuse of technology by students, a district statement said. Last week, Laguna Beach High School administrators announced that they had launched an investigation after a student allegedly created and circulated "inappropriate images" of classmates through the use of artificial intelligence. In January, five Beverly Hills eighth-graders were expelled for their involvement in the creation and sharing of fake nude pictures of classmates. The students superimposed pictures of classmates' faces onto nude bodies generated by artificial intelligence. In total, 16 eighth-grade students were targeted by the pictures, which were shared through messaging apps, according to the district.
