Stanford Swaps Student For AI Image in Breach of Synthetic Media Rules

Culture29 days ago

Billy Ramirez was erased from a Stanford University advertisement and substituted with an AI-generated Black woman. Two other students in the banner were altered using AI to appear thinner, a modification Ramirez stated left him feeling "silenced and erased." The promotional materials were designed to advertise the university's student body using synthetic modifications.

The use of generative tools violates Stanford's internal marketing policies, which ban the creation of synthetic media featuring real people without explicit consent. The university utilized AI to change the racial and physical characteristics of its students to produce a manufactured image for the promo banner.
