A mother and daughter are advocating for better protections for victims after AI-generated nude images of the teen and others were circulating.

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.

    The masses can review said asshole all they like, but it doesn’t mean anything, because nobody can stop them from removing the safeguards.

    Then all of a sudden you have an AI that anybody can use that will happily generate even the most morally bankrupt things with ease and speed.

    I love FOSS, but AI is inherently unethical. At best it steals people’s work. At worst it makes CP/unconsensual porn.

      The user can. You don’t understand anything and I ain’t on a laptop to school you. Gimmie a few hours til I get home and I’ll teach you a the best I can, if you care to learn.

      AI may be unethical but terminator’s AS was the best description of a FOSS AI.
