New report estimates half a million UK teenagers have encountered AI-generated nude deepfakes

New report by Internet Matters urges the new Government to crack down on AI-generated sexual imagery ‘epidemic’ after survey reveals 13% of teenagers have had an experience with nude deepfakes.

Summary

  • The possibility of uncontrolled nude deepfake abuse has sown fear into many children’s lives; over half of teenagers (55%) believe that it would be worse to have a deepfake nude created and shared of them than a real image.
  • Internet Matters calls for a ban on ‘nudifying’ tools, as the report warns it is simply too easy to create nude deepfakes online.
  • Recommended reforms to the school curriculum should include teaching children how to identify deepfakes and to use AI tech responsibly.
