Experts say sexual abuse using deepfake porn is likely to get worse, and it's not just AI sophistication that's enabling the behaviour. Exposure to misogynistic messages and degrading content online is 'crushing' the empathy of young people.
Libby Payne was in Year 8 when she experienced image-based abuse, which is often referred to as "revenge porn"."It impacted every part of my life," she said.Now working with high school s as a consent and respectful relationships educator, the 24-year-old sees the same impacts on young people when deepfake images are circulated.Bacchus Marsh Grammar in Melbourne
And what began as a revival of "make me a sandwich" jokes, has led to tech being weaponised to tell women, "I'm going to put you in your place. I'm going to humiliate you".The eSafety commissioner is calling on the tech industry to step up protections around generative AI as the authority logs its first report of sexually explicit artificially generated imagery being used by children to bully others.
Mr Principe, who has held workshops with more than 35,000 schoolboys across Australia, said it's not an isolated issue — it's happening at all types of schools. Commissioner Julie Inman Grant warned toxic role models were drowning out helpful discussions, and is calling for algorithms that promote the content to be more closely regulated.
Ms Payne also says young people are responding to a culture of masculinity, with students telling her inappropriate images are shared to look "cool". There's cybersafety, consent, and respectful relationships education in place in schools, which he encourages but says it's not enough to cut through. And some are even unable to acknowledge and define sexual assault in the context of new technologies, describing it as "a foggy area".
