The FBI has warned that technology used to create pornographic deepfake photos and videos was improving and being used for harassment and sextortion. Mastodon: @evacide@hachyderm.io , @carnage4life@mas.to , and @TechDesk@flipboard.social . X: @edfuller_psu Mastodon: @evacide@hachyderm.io : I cannot overemphasize how much the use of technology for harassment is fueled by misogyny, transphobia, homophobia, and anti-blackness. Marginalized groups are the canaries in the coal mine and it is vital to take their targeting seriously. — https://www.nbcnews.com/... Dare Obasanjo / @carnage4life@mas.to : This is a good example of how hypothetical risks of technology that are hyped in the media diverge from the real world. — It turns out the most common abuse vector from reducing the skills needed to create Photoshopped images or videos is harassers and creeps making fake porn of women they know or as a ransom technique. … @TechDesk@flipboard.social : Teen girls are being targeted with deepfake pornography created using technology such as AI. Perpetrators are putting pictures of a victim's face onto an image or a video of a naked person. The FBI have warned that these images are being used for harassment and sextortion of young people and sadly there are limited ways to seek accountability. … X: Ed Fuller / @edfuller_psu : The largely male creators and advocates of AI have completely ignored this issue and likely will continue to do so. Schools will be the battleground for much of this. https://www.nbcnews.com/...
