Beverly Hills Unified School District officials announced the expulsion of five Beverly Vista Middle School eighth graders on March 6 who were responsible for making and disseminating AI-generated nude photos of their classmates.
The disciplinary measures were approved during a special closed session of the BHUSD Board of Education. The expelled students were “egregiously involved” in the creation of “deepfake” images that merged the faces of 16 eighth-grade girls identified as victims onto the bodies of nude women, Superintendent Michael Bregy wrote in a statement.
