Is AI Creating a Social Media Crisis with Synthetic NCII? 🧐
#Graphika , a social media analytics company, observed a drastic surge in the use of synthetic Non-Consensual Intimate Images (NCII) services, notably in "AI undressing."
This involves #AI tools removing clothing from user-provided images. Referral links to 34 websites and 52 Telegram channels offering such services increased by 2,408% in 2023.
These services generate explicit content without consent, posing risks like harassment and sextortion. AI's role extends to video deepfakes, raising concerns about child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Internet watchdogs warn about the overwhelming impact of AI-generated content, making it challenging to differentiate between real and fake.
This issue has prompted global attention, including the European Union's recent #regulations on AI use.
