HONG KONG: THREE WOMEN WHO FELL VICTIM TO FAKE VIDEOS BLOW WHISTLE AT VARSITY
-
For Hong Kong law student "C", AI-made pornography was a distant danger until a university classmate created graphic images of her and multiple other women. "At first I was shocked, then it turned into panic," said the 20-year-old, describing the ordeal as a "wound that will leave a scar."
C was one of three women who exposed an AI porn scandal at Hong Kong's oldest university last month, sparking huge debate around what had largely been seen as an overseas phenomenon.
The victims, who spoke on condition of anonymity, and experts said the city was ill-prepared to counter the fast-growing threat.
In the University of Hong Kong case, hundreds of images of at least 20 women were discovered on the student's laptop.
"B", another of those who spoke out, said she felt betrayed as she had considered the perpetrator a friend.
"I felt like my privacy was violated... like I couldn't trust the people around me," she said.
The university's initial response was to give the student a warning letter and make him apologize.
