Civitai introduces bounties for deepfakes of a private individual
Civitai, an online marketplace for sharing AI models, introduced a bounty feature that allows users to request and reward AI models that generate nonconsensual deepfake images of specific real people. 404 Media found at least one bounty targeting a private person with no significant public online presence, who expressed fear and distress over the misuse of her image. The platform facilitates the creation of nonconsensual sexual images without the subject's consent.
