A mother and her 14-year-old daughter are advocating for better protections for victims after AI-generated nude images of the teen and other female classmates were circulated at a high school in New Jersey.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the country, officials are investigating an incident involving a teenage boy who allegedly used artificial intelligence to create and distribute similar images of other students – also teen girls - that attend a high school in suburban Seattle, Washington.
The disturbing cases have put a spotlight yet again on explicit AI-generated material that overwhelmingly harms women and children and is booming online at an unprecedented rate. According to an analysis by independent researcher Genevieve Oh that was shared with The Associated Press, more than 143,000 new deepfake videos were posted online this year, which surpasses every other year combined.
Require consent to take a person’s picture and hold them liable for whatever comes from them putting it on a computer.
That’s a whole fucking can of worms we don’t need to open. Just make faking porn a crime similar to publishing revenge porn.
Nah. Use my image and pay me what I want. If I can’t make a Mickey Mouse movie they shouldn’t be able to make a porn staring me. Does a corporatation have more rights to an image than I have to my image?
That really depends on what you consider “using my image”. Are you going to demand that people pay you because you were wandering around in the background of their family photo or their YouTube video? Will you ask to be compensated when people post group photos that include you on their social media? Does mom owe you money for all those pictures she took of you as a kid?
If I can be identified and it is on a computer attached to the Internet then pay me.
You already need consent to take a persons picture. Did it help in this case? I don’t think so.
Very rarely do you need consent to take peoples pictures
Sorry, I forgot that the US is decades behind the rest of the world in privacy laws.
Well, maybe you could start with this aspect.
Really? Please show me the signed and notarized letter with the girl’s name on it that says they agree to have their image used for AI porn. Also since she is a minor her legal guardians.
How would you possibly enforce that, or prevent people from just copying publicly available pictures for nefarious usage
It would have to be enforced after getting caught. As an add on charge. Like if an area has a rule against picking locks to commit a crime. You can never be charged with it alone but you can add that on to existing charges.
