AI deepfake porn: Could I be next?

As AI tech grows, more apps are being developed to create these fake images.

As AI technology advances, new image generator apps pop up all the time. Some of these can be used to make deepfake pornography where someone’s face is stitched onto an image of a naked body. Pictures of faces are often taken from social media profiles and used without consent.

Our Disinformation Reporter, Jack Goodman, takes us through how the tech works and what you should do if a deepfake video is made of you.

It’s not just deepfake porn that’s a worry though - fake videos can be made of almost anything. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s Noor Nanji explains how Bollywood actresses are being targeted in this way.

And Dr Kerry McInerney and Dr Eleanor Drage from Cambridge University and the Good Robot podcast tell us about their biggest concerns around AI. What do tech companies need to do to protect people?
