AI-generated sexual deepfakes involve the synthetic creation or manipulation of images and videos to depict real or realistic individuals in sexualized or pornographic scenarios without their consent, including apparent minors. The topic spans technical failures and safeguards in generative models, platform-level moderation and labeling systems, and emerging legal frameworks governing criminal liability, online safety duties, and regulation of child sexual abuse material. It also encompasses governance debates over platform responsibility, user rights, and the adequacy of existing regulatory regimes for harmful AI-generated content.
