Army boots West Point cadet for extorting woman with AI-generated nude images

The Army dismissed a West Point cadet for extortion and indecent conduct after he used generative artificial intelligence to create fake nude images of a woman. Ex-cadet Cayden Cork threatened to publicly release these deepfakes unless the woman sent actual nude photos of herself. Cork pleaded guilty to the charges, resulting in his dismissal from the Army and forfeiture of pay. This case highlights the military justice system's adaptation to new technologies and underscores accountability for crimes committed with AI assistance. The incident reflects growing concerns about the misuse of AI for non-consensual sexualized imagery.
