  1. RE: mastodon.social/@404mediaco/11

    In this important interview of Hany Farid by @emanuelmaiberg, they discuss (among other concerns) the growing problem of synthetic #CSAM and other #NCII and the necessity of imposing much greater consequences on the executives and companies most responsible for creating and distributing these media. As Farid explains, perceptual hashing algorithms such as Photo DNA can't significantly hinder the promulgation of #deepfake media, because too many perceptually distinct #deepfakes can be produced too quickly.

    I'd argue that the only real solution to the problem of synthetic abuse images would necessarily apply much earlier in the process: legally restrict the training data.

    Make it a criminal offence, mandatorily piercing the corporate veil, extending from executives and board members to ICs, to produce, possess, distribute, wilfully retain, advertise, or make available any media synthesis model derived from data that includes or ever included both:

    • any image, whether still or video, which depicts or appears to depict human nudity or human sex acts (regardless of whether any depicted person exists or ever did, and considering for this purpose human any fictional humanoid species portrayed as having visually similar intimate anatomy or capable of visually similar sex acts); and either or both of:
      • any image, whether still or video, which depicts or appears to depict any adult (as of the age at which they are or appear to be depicted) who exists or ever did, who did not, with unmitigated capacity to do so at the time, expressly provide free and informed consent not tied to anything else except financial compensation, to their image being included in a model capable of synthesizing intimate images, without ever withdrawing that consent before production of the model; or,
      • any image, whether still or video, of any minor (as of the age at which they are or appear to be depicted), whether ever existing or not.

    Any model trained on both can produce NCII. To prevent synthesizing NCII, we must mandate the deletion and prohibit the production of models trained on both. Companies wanting to synthesize porn can bifurcate their training, so the only humans in their porn-capable model would be adults consenting specifically to that.

    Allow, as a sole exception, solely for the purpose of preserving evidence of a crime, retention of encrypted copies of a violating model, made after cryptographically hashing the plaintext model and kept with the encrypted model, encrypted such that it is mathematically impossible to deduce or infer any part of the model without private keys kept in sole custody of a court of relevant jurisdiction or its designate. In all other cases and for all other purposes, impose an affirmative duty of immediate and irreversible deletion upon discovery (or, for pre-existing models, upon enactment of the law) of all violating models, by any entity with the technical and legal access to do so, and an affirmative duty to report to law enforcement the existence of such models by all persons with knowledge of their existence, as well as whether, to the reporting person's knowledge, the model was immediately and irreversibly deleted. Make failure to report existence of the model a crime for everyone who knows and fails to report it.

    Retroactively and proactively forfeit as proceeds of crime all gross revenue or valuable consideration given or received by any and every entity (natural person or otherwise) wilfully involved in production, retention, making available, providing, accessing, or using such models, or for concealing any of the foregoing except by means of immediate and irreversible deletion, in consideration for any wilful part in the foregoing. Make all such revenue and the value of any such valuable consideration tax debts owing immediately, with compounding interest retroactively from the date of transfer of funds or consideration (or, for pre-existing models, from the enactment of the law). For the purpose of this forfeiture, value any such non-monetary valuable consideration equivalently to the highest monetary value it attains from date owing (as defined in the preceding) to date of full repayment.

    Make it additionally and independently a civil offence, with a private right of action, retroactively and proactively exempted from all indemnity clauses, hold harmless provisions, mandatory arbitration clauses, class action waivers, limitations of liability, forum selection clauses, choice of law clauses, or any other terms of contract, licence, or agreement purporting to prevent or limit means of legal redress.

    Make the only escape hatch from legal liability to destroy the model immediately if one can, or to report it immediately otherwise.

    If Sam Altman, Sundar Pichai, Demis Hassabis, Alexandr Wang, Mark Zuckerberg, David Holz, Prem Akkaraju, Christobál Valenzuela, Anastasis Germanidis, Tim Flossbach, and everyone who works for their companies in any “AI”-related capacity—even an intern on their first day—could end up imprisoned and bankrupt for allowing a model whose training data makes it capable of producing NCII to continue to exist (or, for those who can't destroy the model, for failing to report it), the availability of NCII synthesis would diminish markedly.

    Even though the current US regime of perpetrators of offences against children, bribed as they are to serve the interests of the media synthesis companies, would never enact any such a law, the CEOs and most of their company's employees do like to visit other countries, to fly over other countries' airspace, or to sail in other countries' waters. Meanwhile, several US states may be persuadable to enact such laws (albeit perhaps a fit filed down around the edges due to SCOTUS 1A interpretations), and preempting them federally would be politically self-poisonous. (What politician or candidate wants to out themselves as pro-NCII?)

    Enact similar laws in enough jurisdictions, and in effect, the same might as well be enacted in the USA. Russia would undoubtedly be a hold-out, but for which: enact sanctions, and provide #Ukraine abundant means of kinetic enforcement of those sanctions.

  2. Dr. Paul #Bouchaud & Dr. Silvia #Semenzin of #AI Forensics have released a white paper about the unmoderated tools at #HuggingFace which allow the generation of Non-Consensual Intimate Images (#NCII) and #CSAM.

    HuggingFace has an area called "#Spaces", with free interactive demos that let anyone run models in the browser without installing anything.

    Unsurprisingly, a lot of them undress women and children with the simple prompt "Same face, undressed".

    "investigating the platform's most widely used Hugging Face Spaces, found:

    • 73% of monitored requests were sexual in nature.
    • Of those, 83% sought to undress or otherwise sexualize a person.
    • 95% targeted women.
    • 6.7% targeted a minor. If fulfilled, these requests would constitute child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
    • Only 3% of audited Spaces showed any evidence of output moderation."

  3. From AI Forensics' investigation of Hugging Face's top image models:

    - 73% of monitored requests were sexual in nature.
    - Of those, 83% sought to undress or otherwise sexualize a person
    - 95% targeted women
    - 6.7% targeted a minor (if fulfilled, these requests would constitute CSAM).
    - Only 3% of audited Spaces showed any evidence of output moderation.

  18. Re-sharing a guide I published last year. It offers practical and granular suggestions for victim-survivors of image-based abuse, especially those in the global majority world, to remove the violative content while safeguarding their privacy and identity online.

    A few survivors have told me they appreciate the guide. One said she wishes she had access to this resource when she was dealing with her situation a few years ago.

    Similar incidents happened last year in a cafe in Bengaluru and a university in Andhra Pradesh. And these are just the ones that made it to media reports and police records.

  22. CW: US Politics

    The Tools to Address Known Exploitation by Immobilizing Technological Deepfakes on Websites and Networks Act ("TAKE IT DOWN Act") is a bad idea, and probably unconstitutional.
    In all of Congress, only 2 people voted against it.

    NCII is bad, but just because a bill combats a legitimate problem does not mean it should pass.

    Now, our hope lies with Donald Trump - who supports the bill - and the judiciary.
