Alberta Sheriff Uses AI to Create Non-Consensual Nude Images of Coworkers

What happened

An Alberta sheriff used AI software to generate non-consensual nude images of three female coworkers from their social media photos. Although the conduct was deemed serious and harmful, no criminal charges were filed because Canadian law did not yet cover AI-generated intimate imagery at the time. The sheriff was removed from active duty pending investigation.
