said Tuesday it has launched a criminal investigation into an <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/feature\/ai-artificial-intelligence\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">AI<\/a><\/span>-generated porn scandal at the city&#8217;s oldest university, after a student was accused of creating lewd images of his female classmates and teachers.<\/p>\n<p>Three people alleged over the weekend that a University of Hong Kong (HKU) law student fabricated pornographic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/tag\/deepfake\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">deepfakes <\/a>of at least 20 women using artificial intelligence, in what is the first high-profile case of its kind in the Chinese financial hub.<\/p>\n<p>The university sparked outrage over a perceived lenient punishment after it said Saturday it had only sent a warning letter to the student and demanded he apologize.<\/p>\n<p>But Hong Kong&#8217;s Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data said Tuesday that disclosing someone else&#8217;s personal data without consent, and with an intent to cause harm, could be an offense.<\/p>\n<p>The watchdog &#8220;has begun a criminal investigation into the incident and has no further comment at this stage,&#8221; it said, without mentioning the student.<\/p>\n<p>The accusers said in a statement Saturday that Hong Kong law only criminalises the distribution of &#8220;intimate images,&#8221; including those created with AI, but not the generation of them.<\/p>\n<p>There is no allegation so far that the student spread the deepfake images, and so &#8220;victims are unable to seek punishment&#8230; through Hong Kong&#8217;s criminal justice system&#8221;, they wrote.<\/p>\n<p>The accusers said a friend discovered the images on the student&#8217;s laptop.<\/p>\n<p>Experts warn the alleged use of AI in the scandal may be the tip of a &#8220;very large iceberg&#8221; surrounding non-consensual imagery.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The HKU case shows clearly that anyone could be a perpetrator, no space is 100 percent safe,&#8221; Annie Chan, a former associate professor at Hong Kong&#8217;s Lingnan University, told AFP.<\/p>\n<p>Women&#8217;s rights advocates said Hong Kong was &#8220;lagging behind&#8221; in terms of legal
