New Jersey teen sues classmate for allegedly creating, sharing fake AI nudes

A New Jersey teen is suing a classmate for allegedly creating and sharing AI-generated pornographic images of herself and other classmates. 

A male classmate used an "AI application or website" to alter photos of the 15-year-old, who is identified only as Jane Doe because she is a minor, and other female classmates at Westfield High School, according to a federal lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court District of New Jersey. The photos were initially shared on Instagram.

In all of the photos, Jane Doe and the other girls were clothed, but the AI application digitally removed the clothing and created new images that made the girls appear nude. Their faces remained easily identifiable, the lawsuit said.
