School defends inaction in AI nude lawsuit, claims no duty to report non-child abuse images
Key points
- LCDS seeks to dismiss lawsuit from AI nude victims.
- School claims it reported to the Attorney General, a law enforcement agency.
- Argues AI images are not child abuse under current state law.
- States it could not identify victims from vague initial tip.
Lawsuit Dismissal Attempt
Lancaster Country Day School (LCDS), a private K-12 institution, has filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit brought by students who were victims of AI-generated nude images. The school is challenging claims that it remained silent for months while more students were targeted.
School's Defense on Reporting
In its motion, LCDS argued that it did report the issue to law enforcement, specifically the Pennsylvania Office of the Attorney General, which initially provided the tip. The school contends it is false to state it failed to report, as it communicated back to the agency that initiated the inquiry. An attorney for the school stated that it is impossible to assert a failure to report when law enforcement provided the tip and the school reported back to them.
Inability to Identify Victims
LCDS also asserted that it was unaware specific girls were being targeted because the initial tip did not name any victims. The school stated it investigated the tip to the best of its ability, but the information was too vague to identify potential victims, and it never saw the images. The school maintains that all activity related to the AI nudes occurred off-campus.
Legal Classification of AI Images
The school's defense includes the argument that it had no legal obligation to report the images to local police because AI-generated images do not currently qualify as child abuse under Pennsylvania state law. This legal distinction is central to the school's claim that it fulfilled its duties by reporting to the Attorney General and closing its investigation after receiving no further response.
