A student at a Catholic boys’ high school has been expelled after making graphic images of a female teacher using artificial intelligence.
The 15-year-old from Salesian College in Chadstone, southeast of Melbourne, was expelled in May for creating explicit images using an artificial intelligence app.
The school immediately launched an investigation into the matter and took steps to expel the student.
The Salesian School continues to provide support to the affected teacher and insisted that it has not received any complaints from parents.
However, some parents told the Herald Sun they were shocked and angry when they learned of the student’s atrocious actions.
The expelled student attended Salesian College in Chadstone, Melbourne. The boys’ high school quickly took action to expel the boy when they realized what he had done.

“It’s very disturbing that this happened and we feel sorry for the teacher involved,” one parent said.
Another parent described AI as “evil” and was concerned about the use of technology in these types of situations.
The incident comes days after leading consent activist Chanel Contos called for all Australian high school students to take pornography literacy classes.
Ms Contos believes the rate of teen access to explicit material is a “public health problem”.
The campaigner said the “next step” for secondary classrooms was for school leaders to talk about the dangers of pornography for students.
In February, more than 100 explicit private videos and photographs of underage students were found posted on social media.
The images were from public and private schools and had been shared on several Instagram accounts without the students’ permission.
In a scourge on this type of activity, last year students were caught posting manipulated pornographic images of teachers on social media, in addition to filming altercations in the classroom amid an escalation of hatred towards teachers.
