Half of American teenagers have seen AI-generated sexual material: 'Once it's out there, it's out there'

from Total Information AM

Geoff Fowler is the Head of public engagement, Youth AI Safety Institute, Common Sense Media. He joins Megan with a look at a new report on AI-generated images. The institute conducted a national survey of teens, half of them have seen AI-generated sexual images and a quarter of it was of themselves. Where are they seeing it? A 'vast majority were seeing it in their social media feeds,' and group chats with friends says Fowler. 66% said they were scared of a deep-fake being created of themselves, Folwer tells Lynch.
