AI Deepfakes: "It's here and it is harming people"

There's a warning that genuine harm is being caused to some young people on the Island due to the misuse of AI.

Recently, Manx police reported a 'sharp increase' in students, in and out of school, creating images through Artificial Intelligence with the aim of bullying and ridiculing their peers.

The images, in some cases, has been dubbed 'rude and offensive' and others described as prohibited or indecent - which police say could amount to a criminal offence.

PC Louise Kennaugh is working with schools to try and get the message across that it's not acceptable, and there could be consequences.
