Es gibt immer mehr gute unabhängige journalistische Webseiten. Eine davon ist 404 Media, deren Newsletter ich aktuell abonniert habe.
Heute berichten Sie über Face-Swapping Apps deren Geschäftsmodell es ist, mit Hilfe eines einzigen Fotos das Gesicht einer Person in ein „beliebiges“ Video zu integrieren, welche man bequem von einer Webseite eigener Wahl downloaden kann. Die Apps kosten allerdings 20 Dollar pro Monat.
Wer sind wohl die Kunden von solchen Apps?
I tested the app and found that, for users willing to pay a subscription fee of $20 a month, it makes it incredibly easy to generate nonconsensual deepfake porn of anyone. All I had to do was provide one image of the person I wanted to deepfake, and use an in-app internet browser to navigate to the video I wanted them to appear in. As the ad I saw on Reddit suggested, when I navigated to a specific Pornhub video, the app automatically pulled the video and created deepfake porn of the person in the image I provided. The entire process, from the moment I saw the ad on one of the most popular websites in the world to the completed deepfake video, took about five minutes, and created a highly convincing result.
Earlier this week I reported that a recent survey found that one in 10 minors ages 9 to 17 say that their friends or classmates have used AI tools to generate nudes of other minors. The report goes into some detail about what internet platforms minors are using, where they are sharing nudes, and where they say the are most likely to encounter child sexual abuse images, but it neglects to mention that the high rate of minors who create AI-generated nude images of their peers is not originating on the dark corners of the internet. They are getting served ads on the most popular internet platforms in the world—Instagram, Reddit, TikTok—which are directing them to the most popular app store in the world for the stated purpose of creating NCII. As Jason and I reported in February, the students who rocked a Washington State high school by creating nude images of their classmates and teachers found the app on TikTok.
KI ist toll oder? Und an jedem Abbo für solche Apps verdienen Apple und Google natürlich mit.
