90% rate non-consensual deepfake creation/sharing unacceptable, men more likely to find it acceptable, education on consent and impacts needed in schools.
A study led by the University of Washington found that 90% of respondents rated creating and sharing non-consensual deepfakes as unacceptable, but the median unacceptability rating for seeking them was 53%. Men were more likely than other genders to find creating and sharing synthetic media acceptable. The research suggests education on consent and the impacts of deepfakes should be integrated into schools to prevent further harm.
