Taylor Swift is Not Alone: The Deepfake Nightmare Sweeping the Internet
Over the past year, a tsunami of apps that digitally strip the clothes off real people has hit the market. Now anyone can create fake non-consensual sexual images in just a few clicks. With cases proliferating in high schools, guest presenter Laurie Segall talks to legal scholar Mary Anne Franks about the AI-enabled rise in deep fake porn and what we can do about it.
Correction: Laurie refers to the app ‘Clothes Off.’ It’s actually named Clothoff. There are many clothes remover apps in this category.
