Google and Microsoft are supercharging AI deepfake porn


An advertisement to create AI girls is reflected in a public service announcement issued by the FBI regarding malicious actors manipulating photos and videos to create explicit content and sextortion schemes. Some of the biggest names in technology, including Alphabet Inc’s Google, Amazon, X, and Microsoft Corp, own tools and platforms that abet the recent surge in deepfake porn. Google, for instance, is the main traffic driver to widely used deepfake sites, while users of X, formerly known as Twitter, regularly circulate deepfaked content. Amazon, Cloudflare and Microsoft’s GitHub provide crucial hosting services for these sites. — AFP

When fans of Kaitlyn Siragusa, a popular 29-year-old Internet personality known as Amouranth, want to watch her play video games, they will subscribe for US$5 (RM23) a month to her channel on Amazon.com Inc’s Twitch. When they want to watch her perform adult content, they’ll subscribe for US$15 (RM69) a month for access to her explicit OnlyFans page.

And when they want to watch her do things she is not doing and has never done, for free, they’ll search on Google for so-called “deepfakes” – videos made with artificial intelligence that fabricate a lifelike simulation of a sexual act featuring the face of a real woman.
