Deepfakes, the Weaponisation of AI Against Women and Possible Solutions

Blog: Verfassungsblog

In January 2024, social media platforms were flooded with intimate images of pop icon Taylor Swift, quickly reaching millions of users. However, the abusive content was not real; they were deepfakes – synthetic media generated by artificial intelligence (AI) to depict a person's likeness. But the threat goes beyond celebrities. Virtually anyone (with women being disproportionately targeted) can be a victim of non-consensual intimate deepfakes (NCID). Albeit most agree that companies must be held accountable for disseminating potentially extremely harmful content like NCIDs, effective legal responsibility mechanisms remain elusive.

Changing how surveys are conducted shows there is no gap in political sophistication between women and men

Blog: USAPP

It’s important for democracy for voters to be politically engaged and knowledgeable, but opinion polling has consistently found that women have less political knowledge than men.
