Class action suit against AI makers over deepfake child sexual abuse material expands
Page 2/10

The suit alleges that the perpetrators, including a plaintiff's male friend and another plaintiff's stepfather, used the companies' AI models to alter photos taken when the plaintiffs were underage to make child sexual abuse material (CSAM). The five plaintiffs accuse the companies of producing CSAM, benefiting from sex trafficking ventures, negligence, defective product design and creating a public nuisance.

"Public nuisance means that this is not just something that is problematic for our clients … this is something that is a scourge on society," said Annika Martin, an attorney for all five plaintiffs. "We want to put these guardrails in place so that we do not cause this harm across an entire generation of children."

The plaintiffs are asking the AI companies to install more effective guardrails to prevent the creation of exploitative and abusive imagery as well as seeking monetary compensation.
