ASSAM, INDIA, JUL 14 – Pratim Bora used AI to create explicit content of a former classmate, earning nearly ₹10 lakh from paid subscriptions, police said.
- Hong Kong's privacy watchdog began a criminal investigation on Tuesday into an AI-generated porn scandal involving a male University of Hong Kong student accused of fabricating explicit images of at least 20 women without consent.
- The scandal emerged after three people alleged the student used AI tools on photos from women's social media, while victims said Hong Kong law criminalizes distribution but not creation of such images, leaving legal gaps.
- HKU issued a warning letter demanding the student apologize but did not involve its Disciplinary Committee, prompting some victims to criticize the response as lenient and insufficient for addressing misconduct seriously.
- Hong Kong leader John Lee stated on Tuesday that most city laws apply to online behavior, highlighted crimes under the Crimes Ordinance with up to five years' jail, and emphasized universities must address misconduct that infringes privacy.
- The case highlights challenges in regulating AI-generated non-consensual imagery and suggests legal frameworks may need updating to protect victims and guide institutional responses amid rapidly evolving technology.
