An AI-generated image was created to target a young person with sexual extortion after their information was mined online. The incident reflects a growing trend of using AI and deepfakes to create deceptive images and content for harassment, coercion, and exploitation. Personal data harvested online can enable perpetrators to personalize and intensify threats. Safety experts call for greater protections and safeguards for young people to prevent misuse of AI-generated media. Concerns include rapid improvements in generative technology, ease of sharing, and challenges in detecting manipulated content. Responses may include stricter safeguards, education, detection tools, and legal measures to protect vulnerable users.
