Episode notes

This chapter explores the evolution of the threat of revenge porn and non-consensual pornography with the advancements in AI, particularly focusing on deepfake technology. It discusses the accessibility, impact, and motivations behind creating and sharing deepfake images. The chapter also highlights the emotional and real-world consequences of deepfakes, as well as the need for awareness, accountability, and parental challenges in navigating this technology.

Over the past year, a tsunami of apps that digitally strip the clothes off real people has hit the market. Now anyone can create fake non-consensual sexual images in just a few clicks. With cases proliferating in high schools, guest presenter Laurie Segall talks to legal scholar Mary Anne Franks about the AI-enabled rise in deep fake porn and what we can do about it.

Correction: Laurie refers to the app 'Clothes Off.' It’s actually named Clothoff. There are many clothes remover apps in this category.
