Australian authorities are currently investigating the distribution of deepfake pornographic images involving approximately 50 schoolgirls. These images were allegedly created by a teenager using artificial intelligence technology. The discovery of these disturbing images has prompted the federal government to push for new laws that would impose prison sentences on individuals who create and share such AI-generated content to humiliate and denigrate victims.
The images in question were reportedly created using photos sourced from social media accounts of 50 female students at Bacchus Marsh Grammar, a co-educational school located on the outskirts of Melbourne, Victoria. The victims are said to be girls in grades 9 to 12, indicating an age range of 14 to 18 years old.
