Federal prosecutors have charged Cornelius Shannon (51) from New Jersey and Arturo Hernandez (20) from Texas for creating and distributing AI-generated nude images and videos of female celebrities. Their actions, which attracted millions of views online, violate the Take It Down Act, a law enacted to combat deepfake pornography. Under this law, they face up to two years in prison. Shannon reportedly published at least 240 albums of AI-generated explicit content featuring various female public figures, while Hernandez's deepfakes included images of both celebrities and private individuals, including recent high school graduates. U.S. Attorney Joseph Nocella stated that these actions degrade and violate women, asserting that deepfake pornography is not a victimless crime. The arrests come amid rising concerns over the misuse of generative AI tools, especially regarding the creation of explicit content involving minors. Last month, an Ohio man was the first convicted under the Take It Down Act for generating child sexual abuse material. Additionally, three teenagers in Tennessee have filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk’s xAI, alleging their images were morphed into explicit content using AI tools. These developments underscore the urgent need for regulations addressing the misuse of AI technology.
