The Rise of Deepfake Technology

The episode delves into the alarming emergence of deepfake technology, particularly focusing on an app called Clothoff, which has been used to create non-consensual explicit images of young women and girls. This technology allows users to upload photos and receive altered images that appear to portray individuals naked, highlighting a disturbing misuse of AI capabilities. The psychological impact on victims is significant, with many experiencing severe emotional distress, leading to instances where girls have been threatened and coerced by their peers into complying with demands related to these false images. Clothoff exemplifies how rapidly advancing technology can facilitate harassment, with the potential for lasting damage to the reputations and mental well-being of its targets.
