Summary
Adult content creators are facing nonconsensual use of their bodies in deepfake pornography, where their likenesses are used without permission to train AI models or create synthetic content. This practice, often involving face-swapping or AI-generated bodies, threatens the livelihoods and rights of performers by exploiting their work as training data and creating digital doubles that may engage in acts they did not consent to. Victims report significant psychological distress, including trauma and fear of financial exploitation, as their bodies are used in imagery that can be difficult to legally attribute or remove due to the lack of unique identifying markers.
