Childcare provider bans class photos over AI deepfake risks

Australian childcare provider Good Start Early Learning has banned class photos due to risks of AI manipulation and deepfake content creation. The e-safety commissioner has warned all Australian schools to reconsider sharing student images online, as they can be exploited through artificial intelligence to generate sexualised content. The government is responding with legislation to impose a duty of care on tech companies, with fines for non-compliance, while parents increasingly refuse to share their children's facial images on social media.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
