Meta’s oversight board is examining two cases of AI-generated images of female public figures, one involving a pornographic deepfake of a female American figure. The board is reviewing Meta’s policies on handling explicit AI images and is seeking public input on the issue. One case involves an AI-generated image resembling a nude female American public figure with a man groping her, posted in a Facebook group for AI creations. The oversight board did not specify the public figure used in the deepfake. Another case involves an AI-generated image of a nude woman resembling a public figure from India posted on an Instagram account that shares AI-generated images of Indian women. Meta failed to remove the content after it was reported twice, but later removed it for violating the Bullying and Harassment Community Standard. The oversight board is asking for public comments to help address the issue and will deliberate on the decisions over the next few weeks before posting the outcome, which Meta must respond to within 60 days.
