CNA Daily Cuts - Explainer: What are the legal options for victims of deepfake porn?

Generative artificial intellegence (Gen AI) has brought with it benefits but also new problems. One of these is the ease with which fake content can now be created, resulting in an explosion of deepfake images. Deepfake nude and pornographic graphics, especially when targeted against known individuals by malicious actors, can cause significant distress and harm.

Chooi Jing Yen spoke to radio hosts Hairianto Diman and Susan Ng on CNA938 live to answer questions such as:-

1. What options are available to victims seeking legal recourse, how easy is this and is it necessary to engage a lawyer?

   
   

2. What is "obscenity" in the eyes of the law and are there any gaps in the current legislation to deal with deepfakes?

   
   

3. How have victims been affected, and how can they seek help and support?
