Explicit deepfake scandal shuts down Pennsylvania school

A Pennsylvania private school faced closure due to an AI-generated nude photo scandal involving nearly 50 female students. Parents demanded the resignation of school leaders or threatened legal action for failing to report the harmful images. The situation escalated after a student created explicit deepfakes, leading to arrests and significant community outrage.

The school's head, Matt Micciche, was accused of inaction after being informed of the issue months prior. Following public pressure, both Micciche and the school board president resigned, but parents remain determined to pursue legal action. The incident has sparked discussions about the need for stronger regulations against AI-generated harmful content.

• AI-generated deepfakes led to a significant scandal in a Pennsylvania school.
