Australian Schools Grappling with Significant Spread of Non-Consensual Spread of Deepfake Pornography of Students

In 2024, an alarming increase in non-consensual deepfake pornography involving students was reported across Australian schools. The perpetrators, often male students, have been using apps like Undress AI to create explicit content with images of their classmates and teachers. This concerning trend has raised questions about the accessibility of these sites to minors, as they are being used to generate such material.
