STUART, Fla. (CBS12) — In our series of reports on artificial intelligence, we’ve told you about some of the amazing things the technology has made possible in medicine and education...but these tools can also be abused.
In this disturbing case, the Martin County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) has arrested and charged a Jensen Beach man with taking a photo of a child — who was fully clothed — and then using AI technology to convert that image into pornography.
“He takes the face of a child and then he sexualizes that, removes the clothing and poses the child, and engages them in certain sexual activity, and that’s the images he’s making with this AI," said Det. Brian Broughton of the Special Victims Unit at the Martin County Sheriff's Office.
