Deepfake Rules

What Are Deepfakes? Deepfakes are videos, images, or audio recordings that have been altered using advanced technology to make it appear that someone is doing or saying something they did not actually do or say. This technology uses artificial intelligence (AI) to create realistic but fake content.  Using deepfakes to spread false information, embarrass someone, or cause trouble in people's lives can result in significant harm to individuals. 

Why It Matters to You: As a student, it's important to be aware of deepfakes because they can affect how we see the world and the people in it. Deepfakes can spread false rumors about others. They can also trick people into believing false information, which can lead to misunderstandings or even serious consequences for the person targeted.

School Disciplinary Measures for Creating Harmful Deepfakes: Creating and sharing harmful deepfakes is a serious offense and goes against our school's commitment to a safe and respectful environment. If a student is found creating or sharing deepfakes that cause harm, embarrassment, or deceives others, the School will consider this a major behavior infraction and take appropriate disciplinary measures. These measures are in place to ensure that all students understand the seriousness of creating or sharing harmful deepfakes and the importance of maintaining a respectful and trustworthy school environment. In cases where the deepfake has caused harm or distress, the student may face expulsion from school.
