Taylor SwiftTaylor Swift)becomeup to dateof Deepfake Victims. Recently, there have been a lot of fake "Indecent photos”, and these photos have been viewed tens of millions of times.
According to reports, these photos were first spread because of the exposure of Taylor's relationship with American NFL football player Travis Kelce. After that, someone used AI to generate some explicit photos involving Taylor and fictional "team members". There are many rumors about the spread of these photos. One of them is that these photos first appeared in an encrypted chat group. According to the British Daily Mail, these photos were first spread on a bad website, which was full of indecent photos of celebrities.
The fake photos quickly spread to social media platforms such as X and Facebook, with tens of millions of views. This incident aroused the anger of Taylor Swift herself, and her fans spontaneously organized a protection action and called for Taylor Swift's protection on social media. Some accounts were found to have spread a large number of photos, and one of them was considered the initiator and was accused of having a history of sexual harassment for many years.
Some accounts involved in spreading the photos have been banned, but some still slip through the net. Some people even openly sell Taylor Swift's Deepfake photo collection on their own websites. Taylor Swift's team is considering whether to take legal action to deal with this incident.
It is worth noting that this is not Taylor SwiftFirstThe last time she was attacked by a Deepfake, she only used her image and voice to promote a product, and did not involve explicit content. A report by the Associated Press showed that as many as 140,000 Deepfake videos appeared on the Internet last year, a number that exceeded the total of all previous Deepfake videos.
Regarding the Deepfake problem, major social media platforms have taken actions to delete posts, but this is only a temporary solution. On the technical level, some people have proposed that developers add invisible watermark mechanisms to AI tools, which may be used for tracking after the fact and have a certain deterrent effect. However, to prevent the occurrence of Deepfakes from happening at the root, it may require the joint efforts of all mankind.
The abuse of Deepfake technology has posed a serious threat to personal privacy and society. Taylor Swift's incident once again reminds people of the seriousness of the Deepfake problem and calls for strengthening the prevention and supervision of this technology. Only through the joint efforts of technology and humans can the spread of Deepfake be curbed and the interests of individuals and society be protected.
