Deepfakes are highly realistic, digitally manipulated visual content. Videos, images and audio are created using sophisticated AI tools, making them indistinguishable from reality.
New-generation AI tools have made it easier to create illegal sexual content through apps known as “nudifier apps.” They use generative AI to create fake nude images of real people without their consent, leveraging a database of online images to produce realistic but unauthorised content.
One in three deepfake tools can create free, non-consensual pornographic material in under 25 minutes. Deepfake pornography accounts for 98 per cent of all deepfake videos online, with 94 per cent of the targets being women, a study by Security Hero reveals.
