High school defends staying silent while boys made AI nudes of 59 classmates
Summary
A Pennsylvania private school is asking a court to dismiss a lawsuit from students who said the school ignored boys making fake nude images of female classmates using AI. The school says it reported the tip it received to the state Attorney General and did not know the identities of victims, claiming it had no legal duty to report the images to local police.Key Facts
