The privacy paradox of deepfake virtual reality porn

  • Nick M. Acocella

摘要

Porn plays an ever-present role in the development, study, use and hype of both artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR), yet the full extent to which AI, VR and porn will converge remains philosophically unexplored. Deepfake virtual reality porn (DVRP) is emerging as machine learning (ML) architectures are leveraged in VR, with radical implications for sexuality and privacy we have not seen from 2D generative AI or 3D VR porn before. In this article, I discuss that full potential, describing an evolution of pornography into what I call pornomorphy, where customizable sexual experience replaces pornographic material. This opens a paradox in our concept of privacy, allowing one’s privacy to nonconsensually become another’s. I explore what that might mean for our senses of self and bodily autonomy, offering considerations to inform emerging ethical and legal approaches to pornomorphy. I also challenge ideas put forth by the philosopher David Chalmers about VR, and argue for updating our conceptions of personal boundaries and likeness ownership given this fast-approaching future.
