AI tools are making it easier to create and disseminate deepfake imagery, and a new study from Monash University has revealed insights into the experience of both victims and perpetrators of sexualized deepfake abuse. The research, published in the Journal of Interpersonal Violence, is the first of its kind to include interviews with both perpetrators and victims. The goal was to understand patterns in abuse in Australia and motivations, including how people who engage in these harms rationalize and minimize their actions.
