(NMCADSV) — The Northern Marianas Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence acknowledges the concerns raised by students, families, and community members regarding reports of non-consensual, AI-generated images of students.
Using artificial intelligence to create false images of people can cause real harm, even when the images are not publicly shared.
As digital tools become more accessible, the misuse of this technology is becoming more common.
It is important that the privacy and safety of the students affected remain a priority as this matter is addressed.
“Technology is changing quickly, but our responsibility to guide our youth has not. Prevention requires education about digital safety, consent, boundaries, and respect in every space, including online. Parents, early conversations with your children are critical. We encourage you to talk early and talk often. Reach out to us if you need support in having these difficult, but essential, conversations,” said Kiki I. Benjamin, associate director of NMCADSV.
If you or someone you know has experienced domestic or sexual violence, or is affected by these issues, help is available. Call 911 for immediate emergency support, or reach out to the 24/7 Karidat Victim Hotline at (670) 234-5100.
For any questions or additional information, contact Kiki I. Benjamin at [email protected] or call the NMCADSV office at (670) 234-3878.
