Key Points:
- Generative AI now enables the creation of realistic explicit images and videos using anyone's photos, blurring the line between fantasy and abuse and causing real-world consequences in relationships, work, and public life.
- AI porn includes three categories: synthetic erotica without real people, deepfake porn using real individuals’ faces often for non-consensual purposes, and "nudify" apps that create fake nudes from ordinary photos, which are widely accessible and used for abuse.
- The rise of AI porn is driven by cheaper and faster production and easier distribution across social networks and encrypted platforms, making it difficult to control or remove content once it spreads.
- Victims face new vulnerabilities as AI-generated intimate content can be used for blackmail
