Over the years, with the advent of AI, I have quietly watched people's character decimated by unscrupulous individuals, using revenge porn or sexually explicit imagery.
The impact on victims of revenge porn (or AI generated explicit imagery) is often long term with psychological and social consequences. Victims suffer low self esteem, humiliation, anxiety, decline in mental health, public shame, problems in intimacy/relationships, powerlessness, suicidal thoughts, depression and anxiety.
This vice is especially globally prevalent in many academic institutions of learning (schools, colleges, universities). A victim of revenge porn could easily be your sister or daughter or mother or father or brother or friend or relative. AI-generated explicit imagery is also widely used by people in failed relationships, who seek some form of revenge.
It's against this background that a team of highly skilled professionals is voluntarily starting the development of an AI app that, once installed on gadgets, will deep-search the internet for a potential victim's face, identify all AI-generated explicit imagery where the face appears, then obliterate the content.
As a voluntary community cause, we will make this app freely available on online stores.
