Metas Oversight Board is once again taking on the social networks rules for AI-generated content. The board has accepted two cases that deal with AI-made explicit images of public figures. While Metas rules already prohibit nudity on Facebook and Instagram, the board said in a statement that it wants to address whether Metas policies and its enforcement practices are effective at addressing explicit AI-generated imagery. Sometimes referred to as deepfake porn, AI-generated images of female celebrities, politicians and other public figures has become an increasingly prominent form of online harassment and has drawn a wave of proposed regulation. With the two cases, the Oversight Board could push Meta to adopt new rules to address such harassment on its platform. The Oversight Board said its not naming the two public figures at the center of each case in an effort to avoid further harassment, though it described the circumstances around each post. One case involves an Instagram post showing an AI-generated image of a nude Indian woman that was posted by an account that only shares AI- generated images of Indian women. The post was reported to Meta but the report was closed after 48 hours because it wasnt reviewed. The same user appealed that decision but the appeal was also closed and never reviewed. Meta eventually removed the post after the user appealed to the Oversight Board and the board agreed to take the case. The second case involved a Facebook post in a group dedicated to AI art. The post in question showed an AI-generated image of a nude woman with a man groping her breast. The woman was meant to resemble an American public figure whose name was also in the caption of the post. The post was taken down automatically because it had been previously reported and Metas internal systems were able to match it to the prior post. The user appealed the decision to take it down but the appeal was automatically closed. The user then appealed to the Oversight Board, which agreed to consider the case. In a statement, Oversight Board co-chair Helle Thorning-Schmidt said that the board took up the two cases from different countries in order to assess potential disparities in how Metas policies are enforced. We know that Meta is quicker and more effective at moderating content in some markets and languages than others, Thorning-Schmidt said. By taking one case from the US and one from India, we want to look at whether Meta is protecting all women globally in a fair way. The Oversight Board is asking for public comment for the next two weeks and will publish its decision sometime in the next few weeks, along with policy recommendations for Meta. A similar process involving a misleadingly-edited video of Joe Biden recently resulted in Meta agreeing to label more AI-generated content on its platform.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/metas-oversight-board-will-rule-on-ai-generated-sexual-images-100047138.html?src=rss

Netflix has been accused of using AI-manipulated imagery in the true crime documentary What Jennifer Did, Futurism has reported. Several photos show typical signs of AI trickery, including mangled hands, strange artifacts and more. If accurate, the report raises serious questions about the use of such images in documentaries, particularly since the person depicted is currently in prison awaiting retrial. In one egregious image, the left hand of the documentary's subject Jennifer Pan is particularly mangled, while another image shows a strange gap in her cheek. Netflix has yet to acknowledge the report, but the images show clear signs of manipulation and were never labeled as AI-generated. Netflix The AI may be generating the imagery based on real photos of Pan, as PetaPixel suggested. However, the resulting output may be interpreted as being prejudicial instead of presenting the facts of the case without bias. A Canadian court of appeal ordered Pan's retrial because the trial judge didn't present the jury with enough options, the CBC reported. One critic, journalist Karen K. HO, said that the Netflix documentary is an example of the "true crime industrial complex" catering to an "all-consuming and endless" appetite for violent content. Netflix's potential use of AI manipulated imagery as a storytelling tool may reinforce that argument. Regulators in the US, Europe and elsewhere have enacted laws on the use of AI, but so far there appears to be no specific laws governing the use of AI images or video in documentaries or other content.

When Sonic 3 hits the theaters later this year, you may be able to watch a franchise fan favorite be voiced by one of Hollywood's all-time fan favorite actors. Keanu Reeves will play the broody, tortured Shadow the Hedgehog, according to The Hollywood Reporter and Variety. The antihero, who's both an arch-rival and an ally to Sonic, will be created by Jim Carrey's Dr. Robotnik after the events of Sonic 2, based on the movie's first footage presented at CinemaCon last week. Shadow has a long history in the Sonic universe and first appeared in Sonic Adventure 2, which came out back in 2001. The black-furred anthropomorphic hedgehog was created in the games to help find a cure for Dr. Robotnik's granddaughter Maria, who had a terminal disease. It's unclear if the movie will follow a similar storyline though we can again expect Sonic and his gang to stop Dr. Robotnik's plans to take over the world but we'll likely get more details about the film before it comes out on December 20. Jeff Fowler will still lead the production as its director, while Ben Schwartz and James Marsden are reprising their roles as Sonic and his adoptive father-of-sorts Sheriff Tom Wachowski, respectively.
