Meta’s oversight board has reportedly ordered Facebook and Instagram to respond to two instances in which artificial intelligence-generated pornographic images, including images of “celebrity Americans,” were spread on the company’s popular social media sites. It is reported that they are investigating Gram’s response.
The Meta board only provided a description of the deepfake image in question, but did not release the name of the famous woman depicted in it to “prevent further harm,” according to a Meta board spokesperson. .
Celebrity deepfakes are rampant these days, with Taylor Swift and US Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez also falling victim to AI-generated deepfake porn in recent months.
According to the Meta Oversight Board’s description of the incident, the incident involved an AI-generated image of a naked woman resembling an Indian celebrity, and only AI-generated images of Indian women. It was posted by a shared Instagram account.
The other image, posted on a Facebook group for sharing AI works, is an AI-generated depiction of a naked woman resembling an “American public figure” and a man groping her breasts, the commission said. It is said that it was included.
Mehta removed an image depicting an American woman for violating its bullying and harassment policy, which prohibits “derogatory sexual photoshops or drawings,” but an image depicting an Indian woman was initially removed. However, after the board selected it for review, they changed their minds.
The commission, which is funded by Meta but operates independently of the social media giant, uses two examples of deepfakes to report on pornographic fakes created using artificial intelligence. It said in a blog post that it will evaluate the overall effectiveness of Meta’s policies and enforcement practices.
Representatives for Meta did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
Just last week, Ocasio-Cortez, 34, posted a fake image of herself performing a sex act while scrolling through X while talking about the bill with aides in her car in February. He revealed his horrifying experience of finding it.
“It’s shocking to see an image of yourself that someone might think is real,” the Queens Democrat said. he told Rolling Stone magazine. “As a survivor of a physical sexual assault, it adds another level of dysregulation.

Earlier this year, Swift was also the subject of a series of X-rated photos showing the pop sensation in various sexual positions at a Kansas City Chiefs game. This is a nod to her highly publicized romance with the team’s tight end, Travis Kelce. Using AI.
As soon as the image started trending on X in January, Swifties banded together to try to fill it in by sharing tons of positive posts about the 34-year-old songstress.
It only took a few hours for the user to track the crude image to an account with the handle @FloridaPigMan, which had no results on X.
The account reportedly obtained the images from Celeb Jihad, which boasts a collection of deepfakes featuring portraits of celebrities.
The incident has led to renewed pressure on lawmakers to introduce tougher policies around the use of AI and the spread of deepfake pornography.
