TRAVERSE CITY — Traverse City Police are investigating a troubling case involving a student from Traverse City Central High School who allegedly used artificial intelligence to create compromising images of classmates.
Right now, details are limited. We do not know how many students were portrayed in the nude, which grade the students are in, and if the accused student has been punished by the school.
T.C. Central High School’s principal, Ben Berger did release a statement to the school community late Wednesday:
