LESSON
Deepfake Nudes & Consent
How can deepfakes cause harm, and why do they violate consent?
AI tools can create images, audio, and video so realistic they're nearly impossible to detect as fake. In this lesson, students explore why using someone's likeness without their permission violates consent, and why the harm is real even when the image isn't.
Objectives
- Explain what deepfakes and deepfake nudes are
- Describe why creating or sharing deepfakes of someone without permission violates consent and is harmful
- Explore a digital dilemma about the sharing of deepfake nudes to analyze how to support and respond
