A mother and her 14-year-old daughter are advocating for better protections for victims after AI-generated nude images of the teen and other female classmates were circulated at a high school in New Jersey.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the country, officials are investigating an incident involving a teenage boy who allegedly used artificial intelligence to create and distribute similar images of other students – also teen girls - that attend a high school in suburban Seattle, Washington.

The disturbing cases have put a spotlight yet again on explicit AI-generated material that overwhelmingly harms women and children and is booming online at an unprecedented rate. According to an analysis by independent researcher Genevieve Oh that was shared with The Associated Press, more than 143,000 new deepfake videos were posted online this year, which surpasses every other year combined.

That would be great in a perfect world, but unfortunately public perception is significantly more important than facts when it comes to stuff like this. People accused of heinous crimes can and do lose friends, their jobs, and have their life ruined even if they prove that they are completely innocent

Plus, something I've already seen happen is someone says a nude is fake and are then told they have to prove that it's fake to get people to believe them... which is very hard without sharing an actual nude that has something unique about their body

The rest of the human body has more unique traits than the nude parts. Freckles, birthmarks, scars, tattoos. Those are traits that are not possible to replicate unless the person specifically knows.

Now that I think about it, we all proobably need a tattoo. That should clear anyone instantly.

You can ask an AI to draw a blurred version of the tattoo. Or to mask the tattooed area with, I don't know, piece of clothes or something.

Yes I'm sure a hiring manager is going to involve themselves that deeply in the pornographic video your face pops up in.

HR probably wouldn't even allow a conversation about it. That person just never gets called back.

And then the worse part is the jobs that DO hire you. Now you have to question why they are hiring you. Did they not see the fake porn video? Or did they see it.

The entire thing is damaging and ugly.

If you are already an employee, then they, will want to keep you and look into the matter.

If you are not an employee yet - is HR really looking up porn of everyone?

[-] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, HR Googles your name. 🙄

[-] derpgon@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

I am pretty sure people who do porn use pseudonyms anyway. If HR thinks the people use their real name and spread their porn on the internet, they are dumb for not realizing it's fake. HR being HR as always.
