The creation and proliferation of deepfake “adult content”
(University of Sussex, 2024) AlZahrani, Ahmed; Rizov, Vladimir
This study investigates the creation and proliferation of deepfake pornographic content, focusing on its causes, impacts on privacy and security, and the necessary measures to address the ethical and legal challenges it presents. The analysis identifies financial incentives, personal vendettas, and a fascination with technology as key motivations behind the creation of deepfakes. Victims suffer significant consequences, including psychological harm, social exclusion, and job loss. The role of social media and video-sharing platforms is critical in the spread of deepfakes due to insufficient content moderation and algorithmic oversight. Despite advancements in technological solutions and legal frameworks, there are still considerable gaps in preventing deepfakes. The study calls for a comprehensive strategy that includes technological innovations, robust legal measures, and public awareness to mitigate the impact of deepfakes. It also emphasizes the importance of future interdisciplinary research to improve detection, prevention, and support for victims.
