Nuca’s deepfake dilemma: Artistic innovation or ethical Invasion?
Bottom line: Anyone could use the technology that’s found with Nuca to create a deepfake nude photo of almost anyone else within several seconds. Nuca doesn’t ask for permission to remove your clothing in the photo.
It’s worth emphasizing again that the two artists have no plans to allow others to use Nuca for commercial gain. They will showcase its capabilities in late June at an art exhibition in Berlin, Germany, all in an effort to spark public debate.
However, the next people who develop a similar technology may choose to use it in a far different way, such as to potentially blackmail people by threatening to release these fake nude photos that other people won’t necessarily know are fake.
