The Shock of Deepfake Porn — MIT Tech Review Investigation Into Nonconsensual AI Content

MIT Technology Review published an investigation into the growing crisis of AI-generated nonconsensual deepfake pornography, documenting individuals who discovered their images used without consent. Victims have limited legal recourse despite existing copyright and piracy frameworks. The piece highlights how facial recognition tools used to detect deepfakes create their own privacy paradoxes, and how the takedown process remains fragmented and ineffective.
