What had Steve Jobs to do with the moderation of pornography? What are deepfakes?

Annemarie Witschas did her bachelor’s thesis in the field of ethics of AI by looking at pornography. She explains what deep fake pornography is and why it is such an immense problem, especially for woman*.
This became particularly clear in a recent case, after the episode was recorded, where deep fake pornography of Taylor Swift was created and spread across the internet. So much, that X (formerly known as twitter) blocked all searches for “#taylorswift”.
Listen to this episode if you want to learn more about deep fakes and their horrifying use in sexually assaultive contexts.
*woman in this context meant as people who are in a body perceived as female
