By Jessica Wong
In a powerful push for change, high school student Francesca Mani took a stand after falling victim to AI-generated deepfake abuse.

Francesca's experience ignited a campaign with her mother, Dorota Mani, to revamp laws and school policies addressing AI-based harassment. However, experts emphasize the dire need to update curricula and policies to combat tech-facilitated sexual violence comprehensively.
