With the development of artificial intelligence, tools have emerged that are dangerous for everyone by spreading misinformation and false materials. They can destroy our reputation and the mental health of many people. Therefore, we should be aware of them and know how to fight them. Despite the many positive aspects that artificial intelligence brings, today I will describe one aspect from the negative side and how we can avoid it.
A huge threat of artificial intelligence is the creation of pornographic materials. Although such applications themselves are not illegal, it depends on how they are used. In Poland, it is a crime to violate personal rights, i.e., when a user uses the generated materials without the consent and agreement of the person depicted in these materials. The problem is very serious and affects both adults and minors.
Generating fictional photos or videos is not a challenge today. Anyone with internet access can use such a service, which on most platforms is free and is done within seconds. This creates a particular danger for minors. There have already been cases in Spanish schools where classmates shared photos of their classmates through social media. It is important to remember the serious psychological consequences this can have for the victim, as well as legal consequences. The creation of pedophilic content has never been as easy as it is today. Such crimes should be quickly detected and severely punished. Especially at this age, the psychological damage can be very dangerous and leave a mark for life.
Although for adults, such crimes can also be very dangerous. One example is blackmail. My acquaintance met someone through an online platform, with whom he maintained internet contact, and until the moment he was to send his photo to show what he looks like, everything looked like the beginning of an acquaintance between two people. Unfortunately, as soon as he sent his normal photos, the other person turned out to be a fraudster who altered his photos into pornographic ones and demanded money with the threat of sharing these photos with his acquaintances. The problem was that he had colleagues among his acquaintances, and such false accusations could have destroyed his professional reputation. Unfortunately, many people are not aware of such tools, and his explanations would not be credible, and he was aware of this, so he sent money to the scammer, who did not stop at one attempt to extort money. Until he blocked this person, he made several transfers and still lived in fear that his reputation would be destroyed. In his case, he only lost money and it did not end with worse consequences. Law enforcement could not help him either, as they could not find the perpetrator of the crime.
When it comes to public figures or those performing important functions in our society, the consequences of such actions can be immense.
There have already been cases where porn stars have been generated by artificial intelligence, and such materials have been sold on various platforms such as Reddit. Due to such actions, verification with an ID card was introduced, but the question is that with the development of technology, it will be possible to cheat verification methods as we have in the banking sector. In this case, it was a character generated by artificial intelligence, but we must also remember about stalkers who could use publicly available photos of people and reap benefits without the knowledge of these people. Verification safeguards are an obstacle for such people, but we must also remember that it is not a barrier that cannot be broken.
In my opinion, the operation of such applications should not be allowed, but we must also remember about the constitutional rights of human freedom. The fight against such tools is and will be very difficult, which is why we should already develop laws and methods to fight this. Certainly, educating people will help increase awareness of this issue and make people realize that not everything seen on the internet can be believed. On the other hand, all materials generated by artificial intelligence have common features, so other artificial intelligence tools can be used to verify the authenticity of shared materials. Additionally, the European Commission should implement regulations ensuring user safety by monitoring such sites, where mandatory verification and the possibility of editing only their own photos are required.
Unfortunately, there are no perfect things and thanks to the development of artificial intelligence, which has many positive sides, we must also be aware of these negative aspects, but if we prepare in advance, we can mitigate the negatives.
