Abstract

There are some who think the internet is all about for searching porn. Non-consensual intimate/sexual images and videos have been a serious problem for years now. But what about sharing fake intimate/sexual images that were AI generated? Is there anything the law can do? Is it part of our personal rights or not? In the constantly growing internet using world, - according to internetworldstats.com - more than 54% of the world total population have access to it. Will it be a problem that the law should tackle that we won’t be able to believe our own eyes? Could photoshopped or even worse AI generated images affect our everyday life? Will it change how our new colleagues, friends, or our own family think about us? Will it change the political debates? Could we believe a fake speech of a politician? The non-consensual sharing of intimate/sexual images (aka. ‘revenge-porn’) is part of several Criminal Codes in all around the world. How will be prosecute AI in this case? Are forged or altered images covered in the legislation? Are countries and politicians doing enough or do they understand at all what is at stake here? My study is looking for answers to these questions.
