Leading politicians victimised by online material including AI deepfakes, investigation finds
British female politicians have become the victims of fake pornography, with some of their faces used in nude images created using artificial intelligence.
Political candidates targeted on one prominent fake pornography website include the Labour deputy leader, Angela Rayner; the education secretary, Gillian Keegan; the Commons leader, Penny Mordaunt; the former home secretary, Priti Patel; and the Labour backbencher Stella Creasy, according to Channel 4 News. Many of the images have been online for several years and attracted hundreds of thousands of views.
