Explicit, nonconsensual AI deepfakes are the result of a whole range of failings. - The 'ship-as-fast-as-possible' culture of generative AI, no matter the consequences - Willful ignorance inside AI companies as to what their models are used for - A total disregard for Trust & Safety inside some gen AI companies until it's too late - Training on huge, scraped image datasets without proper due diligence into their content - Open models that, once released, you can't take back - Major investors pouring millions of $ into companies that have intentionally made this content accessible - Legislators being too slow and too afraid of big tech Every one of these needs to change.
