Danger online: Artificial intelligence apps are creating fake and disturbing images
Published
In recent weeks, awareness has grown regarding a new and significant danger on social media: the use of artificial intelligence technology to create fake images of people without clothing. These are advanced applications capable of taking a regular photo of a person and, using complex algorithms, turning it into an intimate and fake image that looks completely real.
the scale of the phenomenon is particularly worrying, with reports indicating that tens of millions of users utilize these tools every month. This technology, which is now available to anyone with an internet connection, is being used by hostile actors to harass, humiliate, and violate the privacy of many people, including women and minors.
Cyber experts warn that this is a dangerous tool that could lead to extortion and severe psychological harm to victims. Because the images look very authentic, it is often difficult to distinguish them from real photos, which complicates legal and social efforts to address the phenomenon.
In Israel, law enforcement agencies and organizations for digital rights are calling on the public to exercise extreme caution. They recommend limiting the exposure of personal photos on social media and immediately reporting any case of harassment or the distribution of images without consent.
In conclusion, the new technology poses a complex challenge to Israeli and global society. While artificial intelligence brings many benefits, this case highlights the urgent need for stricter legislation and greater public awareness to protect the privacy and security of us all.
