"Australian schools are seeing a growing number of incidents in which students
have created deepfake sexualised imagery of their classmates. The eSafety
Commissioner has urged schools to monitor the situation.
In 2024, the problem of deepfakes became a crisis in South Korea: more than 500
schools and universities were targeted in a coordinated wave of deepfake sexual
abuse.
AI-generated sexualised images of students — mostly girls — were circulated in
encrypted Telegram groups. The perpetrators were often classmates of the
victims.
A new report from global child-protection group ECPAT with funding from the
UK-based Churchill Fellowship takes a close look at what happened in Korea, so
other countries can understand and avoid similar crises. Here’s what Australia
can learn."
Note that the technology is just an enabler and an accelerant. It’s important
to address the underlying issues and not just the use of new technologies.
