The Italian cybersecurity firm DeepTrace found that 96% of online deepfake videos in 2019 were pornographic and nonconsensual.
US cybersecurity firm Home Security Heroes reported deepfake porn comprised 98% of all deepfake videos in 2023 and 99% targeted women.
The Institute of Global Politics defines deepfake porn as “synthetic pornography created using AI “deep” learning software, which can take an image of a real person and make their likeness appear in explicit images or videos.”
That means we could count deepfake porn as AI porn. Journalist Emanuel Maiberg warned during an IGP event, “The victims of this technology are overwhelmingly young girls.”
“It is almost exclusively young women who are nonconsensually being undressed and put into AI-generated porn.”
Maiberg warns AI models are so powerful that anyone can make AI porn “as fast as you can click a mouse.”
