Brigidine College Protects Students with AI-Proof Photos

0:00A Brisbane Girl School called Bridgeteen College has stopped posting recognizable photos of its students on social media. This independent spot for years, five through twelve, made the call earlier this year to protect kids from online risks. They still share picks, but only side profiles, big groups, shots from behind, or with disguises to keep faces hidden. The big driver here is AI tech that can twist images into harmful stuff. Principal Brendan Cahill says, student safety online was always key, but AI manipulation pushed him to act fast. They've also cut down on how many images go up her post, on top of getting parents consent first. Parents mostly love the change, giving thumbs up to the caution. Cerminologist Danielle Harris from Griffith University is all in, praising the move and urging other schools to follow. She questions why real kid photos are needed for promo, when AI generated ones could do the job. Harris lays out the real dangers, AI can whip up child exploitation material, or A groomers by combining school uniforms, locations, and drop off.

1:06Times into perfect targets. Last year, Australian federal police warned parents about images spreading far and getting misused. Education bosses agree it's time to evolve with tech-strict policies are in place, and new rules hit tech companies to zap deepfakes. As cyber threats creep into schools, this Brisbane move sets a smart example for keeping our young ones shielded in the digital age. Stay informed with Cindy News today, AI-powered updates.
