The AI Surge in NCII

Non-Consensual Intimate Imagery (NCII) creation is a crime primarily focused against women. The motivations for its creation range from a desire to sexualize, shame, or extort. While law and policy around this violent behavior addressed authentic imagery that was recorded, leaked or stolen, now GenAI has revolutionized its creation.

Threat actors are using AI tools trained upon pornographic models to produce synthetic sexual images of real people. All that is needed is a victim’s photograph stolen from a social media or dating profile.
