Japanese police arrested four people for selling obscene images created with artificial intelligence (IA) generative in the first operation of this type in the country, according to the local press on Tuesday.
The rise of this technology generates restlessness for its malicious applications such as the “Deepfakes”, photographs, videos or audios of authentic manipulated people but with real appearance.
96% of the ‘Deepfake’ videos on the Internet are non -consented pornography, the vast majority representing women, according to a 2019 study by the Dutch firm Sensity.
The detainees in Japan had between twenty and fifty years. The public broadcaster NHK and other media claim, citing police sources, who allegedly created posters with indecent images of women with a free program of AI.
The posters with non -existent women in the real world were sold in auction sites for several thousand yen each (1,000 yen equals seven dollars in the current change), according to these reports.
The police could not immediately confirm this information to the AFP.
These local media claim that they are the first arrests in Japan for selling obscene images created with AI.
