The rise of generative artificial intelligence (AI) has collided with a long-standing problem in schools: the act of sharing non consensual intimate imagery (NCII). K-12 schools are often the first to encounter large-scale manifestations of the risks and harms facing young people when it comes to technology. But just how widespread is NCII really? And how well-equipped are schools to handle this challenge? The Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT) conducted surveys of public high school students and public middle and high school parents and teachers to understand the prevalence of deepfakes, NCII, and related issues in K-12 schools. CDT’s research contributes to better understanding these issues within the United States educational context, as research had not yet been publicly published that both quantifies the rising prevalence of deep fakes and NCII in K-12 schools and reflects the perspectives of teachers, parents and students.
