On the 6th, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department’s Meguro Police Station referred a male university student in his 20s from Aichi Prefecture to prosecutors on suspicion of defamation for allegedly creating obscene images of female track and field athletes and posting them on social networking sites (SNS). It issued an opinion calling for “severe punishment” and calling for prosecution.

In late March, an image of a female track and field athlete in her 20s wearing a uniform was altered using a technology called “deepfake” using artificial intelligence (AI) to appear naked, and the image was posted on X (formerly Twitter). It is said that he posted it. She admitted the charges, saying, “She did it to satisfy her own desires.”

According to the police, between October last year and March this year, the male university student altered approximately 70 images of female track and field athletes obtained from social media and posted approximately 100 obscene images on X.

Deepfake is a combination of deep learning and fake. Abuse of technology that uses AI to make photos, videos, and audio look more like the real thing has become a problem both domestically and internationally.
