A Pennsylvania high school is arguing in court that it bears no responsibility for students who generated fake nude images of 59 female classmates—a legal position that could set precedent as schools nationwide grapple with AI abuse they're largely unprepared to address. The school's defense claims students' off-campus conduct falls outside its duty of care, even when perpetrated against its own student body. This sidesteps whether institutional knowledge of the crime creates an obligation to act beyond silence. The case will determine whether schools can treat AI-generated sexual abuse as a student speech or conduct issue they can ignore, or as a safeguarding crisis that demands investigation and accountability.
