16 students from a secondary school in the Valencia Region, in eastern Spain, on the Mediterranean coast, reported the use of “their image modified by AI, both on social networks and on a website [afin de] Sell this type of content, ”said the civil guard in a statement.
The latter received the first complaint as part of this case in December, when one of the young girls reported the creation, without its consent, of an account in its name on social networks.
You could see “a video created using artificial intelligence” and photos “manipulated” in such a way that the people who appeared there appeared “completely naked”, according to the same source.
After registering the other complaints, the gendarmes questioned the teenagers, the latter suspecting while “the author [des faits] could be a classmate ”.
These suspicions were confirmed when the civil guard obtained the IP addresses of the accounts created and discovered that they were attached to the “domicile of the one of [des élèves]”, Currently prosecuted for corruption of minors.
Spain has already known in the past cases of distribution of pornographic images of minors produced with AI.
