Interestingly, Ajder says, the data shows that the majority of users in the online forums generating deepfakes aren’t from South Korea, but China, which plays host to one of the biggest K-pop markets in the world. (The researchers chose not to name the individuals most-often targeted by pornographic deepfakes out of concern for their privacy.) Although the majority of pornographic deepfake subjects (41%) are of British or American actresses, nearly one-quarter (25%) of the women targeted are of South Korean descent and are classified by the researchers as South Korean musicians or K-pop singers.
Additionally, the study sheds light on who, exactly, is most often being featured in such content. A new study from Deeptrace Labs, however, a cybersecurity company that detects and monitors deepfakes, suggests that the biggest threat posed by deepfakes has little to do with politics at all, and that women all over the world may be at risk.Īccording to the study, which was released Monday, the vast majority of deepfakes on the internet - nearly 96% - are used in nonconsensual porn, meaning that they feature the likenesses of female subjects without their consent. When we talk about deepfakes, the term used to describe a type of digitally manipulated videos, most of the discussion is focused on the implications of deepfake technology for spreading fake news and potentially even destabilizing elections, particularly the upcoming U.S.
