Episode notes

The speakers discuss the need to prioritize the well-being of others over personal interests and profit in light of the sexual objectification and harm caused by abusive technology. They also highlight the broader societal implications and the potential for individuals to become perpetrators.

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.
