The Brazilian Ministry of Justice requested the Federal Police and Data Protection Agency to investigate and block 80 websites using AI to generate deepfake nude images of women, citing severe violations of privacy and rights, especially affecting women, children, and adolescents. The sites were identified by SaferNet Brasil.[AI generated]
Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The AI systems in question are explicitly described as tools that generate fake nude images (deepnudes) using AI, which directly violates rights to privacy, image, and personal autonomy. The harms include psychological and reputational damage, harassment, and violence, which are clearly articulated and have occurred, as evidenced by documented cases involving minors and adults. The Ministry's request to block these sites is a response to ongoing AI-driven harm. Hence, this qualifies as an AI Incident because the AI system's use has directly led to violations of human rights and harm to individuals and communities.[AI generated]
