@TshenoloPi How can I get in touch for assistance?

[Equality Now @equalitynow]

EN’s @AmandaManyame was the first representative of civil society to speak, after just two UN member states had intervened, emphasizing the need for global cooperation to tackle the challenges and opportunities posed by #AI.

[Equality Now @equalitynow]

When victims of #deepfake image-based sexual abuse contact social media & messaging platforms to ask for abusive content to be removed, they're often ignored. Better monitoring & enforcement mechanisms are needed, says EN's @AmandaManyame https://t.co/GpkhSbT13A✍️@marielpadilla_

[Amanda Manyame @AmandaManyame]

@McGlynnClare Interesting @McGlynnClare would love to hear your suggestions. We (@equalitynow) have been researching this see: https://t.co/tDAYRgRJSd

We’ll be taking several important safety steps ahead of making Sora available in OpenAI’s products.

We are working with red teamers — domain experts in areas like misinformation, hateful content, and bias — who are adversarially testing the model.

Trying to apply copyright laws would not effectively protect a celebrity like Taylor Swift, or a member of the public, from deepfake image-based sexual abuse as these laws weren't designed to give this sort of protection. If a victim tried to use copyright laws they would not be able to legally satisfy all of the legal requirements stipulated by that law & would therefore not obtain legal recourse, explains @equalitynow's #DigitalRights legal expert @AmandaManyame

Our Global Executive Director Mona Sinha @monanyhk noted:

🗨️"Globally and nationally, laws exist, but clear definitions are lacking. These gaps and inconsistencies make it difficult to identify and prosecute perpetrators of digital gender-based violence."

[Nobel Women @NobelWomen]

Misogyny online is a reality everywhere but especially in Kenya, says @EqualityNow’s @AmandaManyame. We must review and enforce laws to protect women and girls in the digital world.

[Equality Now @equalitynow]

“As one of Africa’s leaders in internet uptake, the rapid online connectivity and use of camera-ready technology in #Kenya has exposed many women and girls to online sexual predators,” EN’s @muhuha. #EndSexualExploitation

[Equality Now @equalitynow]

“Misogynistic behaviors that are prevalent in our physical world are being replicated and amplified online. To protect women and girls in the digital space in #Kenya, we need to assess if laws are sufficiently implemented,” EN’s @AmandaManyame. #EndSexualExploitation
