"Historically, porn and other adult content has influenced the trajectory of technology, leading to the proliferation of VHS, digital photographs, and streaming video. Generative AI is no different.

Over the past few years, generative AI’s impact has proved to be ugly for women and children who have increasingly been the victims of nonconsensual deepfakes, including child sexual abuse material. Those impacted range from celebrities to everyday people. Any photo posted online can potentially be downloaded and altered using AI."


Addendum from Reuters, just today:

Summary:

* Elon Musk's Grok is generating sexualized images of women and minors

* Politicians in France ask prosecutors to investigate; India demands answers

* Experts have long warned Grok owner xAI about potential misuses of AI-generated content

paragraphs from the Reuters pieced linked above:

Three experts who have followed the development of X’s policies around AI-generated explicit content told Reuters that the company had ignored warnings from civil society and child safety groups - including a letter sent last year, opens new tab warning that xAI was only one small step away from unleashing "a torrent of obviously nonconsensual deepfakes."

"In August, we warned that xAI's image generation was essentially a nudification tool waiting to be weaponized," said Tyler Johnston, the executive director of The Midas Project, an AI watchdog group that was among the letter's signatories. "That's basically what's played out."

Dani Pinter, the chief legal officer and director of the Law Center for the National Center on Sexual Exploitation, said X failed to pull abusive images from its AI training material and should have banned users requesting illegal content.

“This was an entirely predictable and avoidable atrocity,” Pinter said.
