Dear colleagues,
There has been an alarming escalation of so-called deep-fake porn where versions of an individual’s face – generally a woman – is pasted onto other women’s bodies in pornographic scenes through artificial intelligence. Not surprisingly, the psychological effects on the victim are devastating.
We have an excellent Frames of Mind film this November 15th that addresses this issue as well as some of the uncertain legal remedies. The film is called Another Body: https://newnextfilmfest.com/film/another-body/
If there is a clinician who is currently supporting individuals who have been victims of deep fake porn and who would be generous enough to be the film’s post—screening discussant, please email me Harry.Karlinsky@ubc.ca – I would love to hear from you.
Sincerely,
Dr. Harry Karlinsky
Clinical Professor
