Teens are now using AI chatbots to create and spread nude images of classmates, alarming education experts

A troubling trend has emerged in schools across the United States, with young students falling victim to the increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI)-powered "nudify" apps that have the power to create fake pornography of classmates. "Nudify" is an umbrella term referring to a plethora of widely available apps and websites that allow users to alter photos of full-dressed individuals and virtually undress them. Some apps can create nude images with just a headshot of the victim. Don Austin, the superintendent of the Palo Alto Unified School District, told Fox News Digital that this type of online harassment can be more relentless compared to traditional in-person bullying. "It used to be that a bully had to come over and push you. Palo Alto is not a community where people are going to come push anybody into a locker. But it's not immune from online bullying," Austin said.
