Students at Colegio Alicante del Sol in Chile used AI to create and distribute non-consensual sexual deepfakes of their female classmates, leading to panic attacks, school protests, and physical altercations.
Students at Colegio Alicante del Sol, a school in Puente Alto, Chile, allegedly used AI tools to turn female classmates' Instagram photos into fake nude images and circulated them among other students. Families reported panic attacks among affected girls. The school suspended implicated students, and Chile's education oversight authority opened an investigation into its response.

Using AI systems to gain a personal advantage over others such as through cheating, fraud, scams, blackmail or targeted manipulation of beliefs or behavior. Examples include AI-facilitated plagiarism for research or education, impersonating a trusted or fake individual for illegitimate financial benefit, or creating humiliating or sexual imagery.
Also classified as
The creation and distribution of sexually explicit deepfakes of minors exposed the school community to highly inappropriate and toxic content.
The incident involved the targeted creation and distribution of humiliating sexual imagery (deepfakes) of specific victims for personal amusement or harassment, which directly aligns with sub-domain 4.3.
Human
Due to a decision or action made by humans

Due to an expected outcome from pursuing a goal
Post-deployment
Occurring after the AI model has been trained and deployed
The harm was caused by the intentional actions of students who used a deployed AI tool to generate and distribute non-consensual sexual deepfakes of their classmates.
Added categories peak at 3: Substantial (Child Sexual Exploitation & Abuse (CSEA), Direct)
Students at a Chilean school used AI tools to generate non-consensual sexual deepfakes of classmates, causing severe psychological distress, local protests, and minor school altercations. While the incident represents a serious violation of privacy and human rights for the minors involved, its national security impact is minor and restricted to localized societal disruption manageable by local authorities.
The AI system was used as a tool by the students to perform a specific, well-defined function: manipulating existing Instagram photos to generate fake nude images.
Limited Risk: The incident involves the creation of AI-generated content (deepfakes), which falls under Risk Level 3 due to transparency and disclosure obligations.
The AI system was used specifically to generate fake nude images (deepfakes) of the students by manipulating their real photos.
The reports provide consistent, detailed accounts of the incident, including the timeline, the school involved, the reactions of the victims and families, and the subsequent school protests and police intervention. The role of AI in generating the deepfakes is clearly stated.
