A North High School employee resigned after Eau Claire Area School District officials said the person generated inappropriate AI images of ECASD staff on a personal computer.
Thursday’s message to families said the employee was first placed on unpaid administrative leave, and the district’s investigation suggests no student images were involved.
Eau Claire police are investigating the matter, though both the department and the district said they could not provide additional details, including the nature of the images or the employee’s identity.
The case adds to growing scrutiny of AI-generated imagery in schools, even as this incident appears limited to staff and not students.

As AI-generated abuse spreads, can our laws and safety policies possibly keep up with the technology?
