The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has warned Americans that criminals are increasingly using artificial intelligence to create images of a sexual nature for the purpose of intimidating and extorting victims.
In an alert issued this week, the FBI said it recently observed increase in the number of victims of extortion who said they were targeted using fake versions of innocent images taken from online posts, private messages or video chats.
“The photos are then sent directly to the victims by the perpetrators for extortion or sexual harassment,” the warning says.
“Once it circulates, victims can face serious problems to prevent further exchange of manipulated content or removal from the Internet.”
The FBI stated that photos looked “real” and that, in some cases, children were attacked.
The FBI did not go into details about the programs. that are used to create sexual images, but noted that technological advances are “continually improving the quality, personalization, and accessibility of artificial intelligence (AI) content creation.”
The department did not respond to requests for details of the phenomenon.
The manipulation of innocuous images to create sexually explicit images is almost as old as photography itself, but the release of open source AI tools has made it the process is easier than ever.
The results are often indistinguishable from real photos, and in recent years, several websites and social media channels have emerged that specialize in creating and sharing sexual images using AI.
