AI is a powerful tool full of possibilities, but it also carries the potential for significant harm. One disturbing misuse is the creation of synthetic “revenge porn” through deepfakes, targeting anyone without consent. Breeze Liu, a survivor of this form of online image abuse, has dedicated her career to preventing it from happening to others. As an advocate, she played a key role in the passage of the Take It Down Act. As an entrepreneur, her company, Alecto AI, helps users remove deepfake pornographic images from the internet and access critical resources and support. Liu joins Pioneers of AI to share her journey from survivor to advocate, how Alecto AI protects its users, and how the Take It Down Act is helping to combat deepfake abuse.
