Chinese AI Video Generators Unleash a Flood of New Nonconsensual Porn.

Despite the current general development of world-famous artificial intelligence models, a new wave of simple AI systems, whose main function is to generate videos and similar content, seems to have recently emerged. The trend originated in China, as these new “AI generators” seem to be, for the most part, produced and released by Chinese companies, but it seems to have reached the West rather quickly.

A substantial difference between the big names in the industry and those who have arrived via this new wave can be seen in the complete lack of the most basic protections designed to prevent users from generating non-consensual pornographic content. It has been seen again and again in the past how these kinds of “resources” are increasingly being used in completely inappropriate ways, going to violate the privacy of victims, potentially ruining their lives and resulting in serious consequences.

According to research by 404 Media, the online news outlet behind today's referenced article, these types of AI video generators require a single image of the victim and then produce a pornographic video of the victim.
