Episode 56: Exposed: The Dark Side of AI and the Fight Against Deepfake Exploitation

In this episode of Feminist Minutes, host Duru and guest Irmak dive into the disturbing world of AI-generated deepfakes, where technology is being used to exploit and humiliate women. Deepfakes, which manipulate real people’s faces and identities, are increasingly being used to create non-consensual, pornographic content—98% of which targets women and girls. The episode highlights the story of activist Breeze Liu, who is fighting back after her image was used in deepfakes, and explores the responsibility tech companies like Google and Bing have in stopping this abuse. Let’s discuss the dangers of deepfakes, their devastating impact, and how women are fighting for justice, all in a matter of minutes.
