In our world of smartphones and social media, for a couple weeks now something has been happening in schools. Some students have been using artificial intelligence (AI) for many things in school, but in particular to make fake naked pictures of their classmates.
This is an invasion of privacy, and also it makes students feel scared in a place where they should feel safe.
Every student should deserve to feel safe and respected, but this new AI is making that hard. Becoming a target for these fake pictures is making students anxious and breeding an overall untrustworthy atmosphere.
This problem not only affects students directly, it affects the whole community making it harder for everyone to trust each other. Instead of being friends students become cautious of each other and it’s not as friendly as it should be.
Schools need to do something now. They should teach students how to use technology responsibly instead of bullying each other and have rules against this kind of digital bullying. Having consequences for students who use this AI against others becomes crucial in proper disciplinary action. By doing this, we can make a place where students feel safe and supported.
In all, creating fake naked pictures and sharing them around makes students have less safety and trust in schools. By making sure students are safe, spreading awareness around this topic, and being kind to each other schools can be a happy and safe environment for everyone.
