Meta Removes AI Deepfake Videos After Oversight Board Flags Inadequate Safeguards
Meta removed two AI-generated deepfake videos targeting women after its Oversight Board criticized the company's inadequate safeguards against such content. One video falsely depicted a Scottish Labour Party councillor making inflammatory remarks about refugees, while the other targeted a Muslim health advocate with misleading imagery. The Oversight Board highlighted the growing misuse of AI deepfakes to harass women in public life and called for stronger measures to address misinformation, hate speech, and harassment on Meta's platforms.
