An Ohio man pleaded guilty on Tuesday to cybercrimes involving real and AI-generated “sexually explicit images”, becoming what the Department of Justice claims is the first person convicted under a new federal AI statute.
The law prohibits anyone from “knowingly” publishing or threatening to publish intimate images, including AI-made “deepfake” images, without consent. Social media companies and websites must remove violating content within 48 hours following a victim’s request.
“He often called the victims and left voicemails of him masturbating or threatening rape,” prosecutors said.
This was to multiple women. Dude's fucking sick.
