Why generic AI policies won’t protect students from AI sexual exploitation

Massachusetts passed a bill to restrict social media access for younger teens and ban school cellphones, but experts argue it fails to address AI-generated sexual exploitation of students. A Stanford HAI report highlights schools' lack of preparedness to handle AI-created explicit content, with cases like a middle-school student discovering fake nude images of herself circulating among peers. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children reported a 1,325% increase in AI-related submissions in 2024.
