WASHINGTON, D.C.: Photo apps digitally undressing women, sexualized text-to-image prompts creating 'AI girls' and manipulated images fueling 'sextortion' rackets — a boom in deepfake porn is outpacing US and European efforts to regulate the technology.
'Hyper-real' The proliferation of online deepfakes underscores the threat of AI-enabled disinformation, which can damage reputations and lead to bullying or harassment.While celebrities such as singer Taylor Swift and actress Emma Watson have been victims of deepfake porn, women not in the public eye are also targeted.American and European media are filled with first-hand testimonies of women — from academics to activists — who were shocked to discover their faces in deepfake porn.
'Dark corner' The tech advancements have given rise to what Duffield called an 'expanding cottage industry' around AI-enhanced porn, with many deepfake creators taking paid requests to generate content featuring a person of the customer's choice.Last month, the FBI issued a warning about 'sextortion schemes,' in which fraudsters capture photos and videos from social media to create 'sexually themed' deepfakes that are then used to extort money.
