So this is a sickening example of the real world harms that AI deepfakes can be used to perpetuate and extend the misogyny that is inbuilt into the social architecture of tech.
What was interesting is that the victim in this chose to record their account as a ‘deepfake’ and so to obscure their real identity. This was a way for them to take back some control.
It is interesting how this kind of crime is so hard to investigate or prosecute. The perpetrator was only discovered because he made some slip ups with covering his tracks.
An example of the unintended consequences of technological ‘innovation…’
