Deepfake is a technology that enables digital image modification. It involves combining images of human faces with the use of artificial intelligence. This way, a non-existent "human" can be created. You can paste someone's face or body and change voices. You can paste a face - your face - onto the body of a porn actress and create a profile on a porn site with your details: name, surname, home address, workplace or school.
Today, 90 per cent of deepfakes are videos that use images of women without their consent.
Taking the story of the American teenager Taylor Klein, protagonist of the film “Another Body”, as a starting point, we will talk about the threats of new technologies, revenge porn and the rights of people whose image has been used in a deepfake without their consent. Why is law enforcement so often powerless? If it is not my body, is it sexual violence? Why are women the victims of these manipulations?
