Position: AI/ML Deepfake Research is Misaligned with AI-Generated Non-Consensual Intimate Imagery (AIG-NCII)

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2607.18263v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI-generated non-consensual intimate imagery (AIG-NCII) is not adequately addressed in AI/ML literature regarding AI-generated media, commonly referred to as "deepfakes". While research on deepfakes currently focuses on its epistemic harms -- or harms relating to truth and authenticity -- this is misaligned with the dominant reality of generative AI abuse involving sexualized imagery. We conduct a landscape analysis of highly-cited works to demonstrate that technical interventions addressing deepfakes almost entirely ignore AIG-NCII, limiting the research ecosystem to authenticity detection tools. In this position paper, we argue that existing interventions address viewer-centric epistemic harms, such as fraud or scams, but ignore subject-cen
