Two Miami middle-schoolers, 13 and 14, charged with felonies over AI nude images of classmates
Two students at a Miami charter school took classmates' faces from the school's social media and used an AI app to place them on generated nude bodies. The school suspended them and called police, and Miami-Dade police charged the boys, aged 13 and 14, with third-degree felonies under Florida's 2022 law on altered sexual depictions, in what WIRED called the first known arrests of this kind.
