The problem is that there is almost no way out for high school girls who have been victimized by ``deep fake porn'' that uses AI to synthesize faces and naked bodies.
With the rise of high-precision image generation AI, in recent years ``deepfake pornography'', which uses other people's faces without permission, has become a problem. While damage such as harassment and sextortion using deepfake pornography is rapidly increasing, foreign media NBC News reports that regulations regarding deepfake pornography have not kept up.
Little recourse for teens girls victimized by AI 'deepfake' nudes
Deepfakes, which use image generation AI to replace part of a photo or video with another material, have become a serious problem as AI technology develops. Deepfakes of celebrities and politicians tend to be a hot topic in the media, but the most widely used is ``deepfake porn'', which replaces the face of a pornographic video with another person's face. Additionally, apps have appeared that make it easy to use deepfake porn.
In October 2023, it was discovered that a male student at Westfield High School in New Jersey, U.S.A., was using AI to create and share nude photos of his female classmates. An investigation was conducted.
Francesca Mani, a victim of deepfake porn at Westfield High School, said: ``I had no idea how complex and scary AI technology was. 'Deepfake pornography can happen to anyone.'
On the other hand, it has been pointed out that regulations and laws against deepfake pornography have not kept up, and New Jersey State Senator John Bramnick said, ``This incident should have been a fairly serious crime, but law enforcement agencies ``If you paste a nude image of a child's face, it is the same as child pornography.''
Bramnick added, ``Despite the damage caused by the circulation of images that were actually taken and the circulation of images generated by AI, current state law does not protect the creators of AI-generated content.'' 'The punishment is not enough.' 'Like child pornography, deepfake pornography not only makes the victim feel uncomfortable, but also damages their reputation. Once deepfake pornography is created and published, the images online We will no longer know where they are,' he said.
In response to these issues, New Jersey has banned deepfake pornography, and in addition to civil penalties for publishing non-consensual content, criminal penalties include three to five years in prison and $15,000.
If passed, New Jersey would become the 10th state to enact deepfake laws, said Mary Franks, president of the Cyber Civil Rights Initiative , a nonprofit organization fighting non-consensual pornography. About.
On the other hand, Mr. Franks believes that the damage caused by the deepfake pornography discovered at Westfield High School is just the tip of the iceberg, and that many female students are not aware of the damage caused by deepfake pornography, even though they have been affected by it. It is pointed out that there is a possibility that there is no such thing, or that the school is hiding it.
The National Association of Attorneys General , made up of 54 attorneys general, said: 'AI creates new frontiers for technology abuse and makes it harder to prosecute content creators. We are in a race against time to protect our people.'
'If the law goes into effect in New Jersey, it will be widely known that creating or publishing deepfake pornography will result in criminal penalties,' Franks said. 'This may help people imagine that they will be subject to criminal penalties, and the damage caused by deepfake pornography may decrease.'
