As AI porn grows in popularity, offering porn sites the chance to provide highly personalized content such as videos, images, and AI girlfriend experiences, we are seeing a rise in opportunities to grow and diversify revenue streams.

However, like when any new technology becomes widespread, we are also seeing the dark side of this technology, with deep fake porn and AI image generators being used to mass produce child pornography. AI nude photo generators are being used for revenge porn purposes, leading to legislators and courts trying to create new legislation to keep up with the expanding technology, looking at what should and should not be allowed. In this article, Adult Site Broker looks at what the recent cases of AI porn could mean for its future. 

The Rise Of AI Porn 

We have previously looked at the most popular AI porn sites, from AI videos and image generators to erotic story makers. In the past few years since AI porn became a thing, the models and technology used have become more and more sophisticated, with companies making NSFW and porn-focused AI websites to cater to the popular niche. 

Although AI porn has become a fantastic opportunity for adult website owners to diversify their products and services, drive traffic and increase their revenue, there has been a rise in AI porn being used for the wrong reasons. With the media reporting on cases centering around AI deep fake porn, AI being used to create and share ‘nudes’ of unsuspecting victims, and AI porn being used to make child pornography. 

As AI porn rises in popularity, we are also seeing a rise in legislation trying to keep up with the current laws on porn, plagiarism, internet content, and digital technology not being able to keep up with the speed at which sophisticated AI models are being created and used. So what is the legal crackdown on AI porn, and how will this affect the adult industry in the future? 

The Legal AI Porn Crackdown 

AI has expanded the adult entertainment industry, offering new ways to diversify and mass produce content, creating new products and services to provide on porn sites, and even allowing people to take control of their fantasies. There has been a growing crackdown on AI in general, such as Google lowering the SEO of companies that rely heavily on AI content. Or technologies being created to test for AI written content and plagiarism. As AI grows in popularity, so too is a growth in ‘bad AI behavior,’ some of which is illegal and requires the law to get involved.  

So, how is the law trying to curb the use of AI in illegal activities? Currently, there has been a spate of AI porn-related cases around the world, including: In New Jersey, a young girl of 15 had her images stolen off of Instagram and ‘nudifed’ using AI apps before they were leaked. A similar case also happened in Serbia, where a woman’s likeness was used via stolen images to create deep fake porn. In Wisconsin, USA, a case has been brought before the court of a man charged with the creation and sharing of AI-generated child pornography. 

What we are seeing from the rise of cases being brought against AI deep fakes and leaked nudes. The current legislation on revenge porn, crime, and even digital technologies needs updating to keep up with these new technologies, such as the new Senate Bill on AI deep fake porn; the DEFIANCE Act, which allows victims to sue creators and distributors for up to $150,000 in damages. 

What Is The Future of AI Porn  

So as legislators and courts alike try to legislate AI technology, what is the future of AI porn? Truthfully we won’t know for a while, but at Adult Site Broker, we are speculating that AI porn is here to stay. It is becoming a quickly growing niche market with games, videos, images, and even online AI dating experiences, which are becoming popular adult sites to invest in and buy.

However, in the next few years, what we will see is a rise in legislation and regulations outlining what AI porn can and cannot do, such as making it illegal to use AI porn sites to create deep fakes that rely on the likeness of celebrities and influencers, bringing AI images into the legislation that centers around revenge porn and the creation of videos and pictures that focus on illegal activities including; child porn, rape, snuff movies, and bestiality. 

What remains to be seen is whether the new legislation will be effective in the long term as technology and AI models move beyond what the law expected. 

Conclusion 

As we can see, AI porn has become a popular new niche for porn sites to offer, allowing users to create highly personalized images and videos to watch as well as create their very own online experiences. However, as the technology grows and we see AI technology being used for nefarious reasons such as ‘leaking’ nude images or creating illegal content, we are also witnessing legislators look to regulate the industry and technology used. 

We need to acknowledge that AI porn is here to stay; however, what remains to be seen is whether the law can keep up with this new technology. As an adult site owner, keeping up-to-date on the conversation regarding AI porn will allow you to stay ahead of the curve and ensure that you are offering AI porn in a way that is safe and legal to use.
