YouTube Enforces Stricter Measures Against AI Videos that Depict Deceased Children or Crime Victims with Realistic Simulations
YouTube is updating its harassment and cyberbullying policies to clamp down on content that “realistically simulates” deceased minors or victims of deadly or violent events describing their death.
The policy change comes as some true crime content creators have been using AI to recreate the likeness of deceased or missing children.
In these disturbing instances, people are using AI to give these child victims of high profile cases a childlike “voice” to describe their deaths.
In recent months, content creators have used AI to narrate numerous high-profile cases including the abduction and death of British two-year-old James Bulger, as reported by the Washington Post.
TikTok’s policy allows it to take down realistic AI images that aren’t disclosed.
