“AI Misuse Unleashed: Swift, Deepfake Porn & Our Response” 

 February 3, 2024

By  Joe Habscheid

Summary: In an alarmingly evolving digital landscape triggered by advanced artificial intelligence (AI), society faces complex and deeply personalized threats. The recent rise of deepfake pornography, featuring unsuspecting individuals like global superstar Taylor Swift, unveils the urgent necessity for comprehensive legal and societal interventions. As technology’s dark underbelly unfolds, informed professionals, including lawyers, doctors, and consultants, have a vital role in driving change.


Unmasking the Invisible Spectre: Deepfake Porn

No one, regardless of their prestige or influence, is shielded from the malevolent grasp of deepfake pornography, the latest manifestation of AI misuse. Consider Taylor Swift. Her successful career shaped her into one of the world’s most recognizable figures, yet it also cast her as the target for deepfake porn creators.

Swift’s unwanted centering in this perverse application of AI technology is not an isolated case. In 2023 alone, more than 113,000 deepfake videos infiltrated popular adult sites, illustrating a disturbing trend that not only violates human rights but also raises profound ethical and logistical challenges.

Legal and Societal Implications

While the law strives to protect individuals against non-consensual deepfakes, these regulations remain embryonic, limited, and hampered by jurisdictional boundaries. However, Swift’s case, emblematic of the severity and scale of this issue, could be a catalyst for comprehensive reform. The question remains, how can legal practitioners in Mid-Michigan and beyond contribute effectively to this reform?

A Call for Swift's Advocacy

The multi-million Swift fandom could potentially channel their outrage into organized action, pushing for stricter laws and proactive societal attitudes towards deepfake pornography. Whether the star herself decides to publicly address this invasion could have far-reaching implications. But it’s more than that—a pivotal moment for her to advocate for changes that protect all individuals, famous or not, from AI abuses.

Lawyers, doctors, and consultants can leverage their authority, providing sound knowledge and guidance to navigate this evolving landscape. Each one of us needs to ask: How can we contribute to a solution against the menacing rise of deepfake pornography?
