NCII (Non-Consensual Intimate Imagery)
NCII (Non-Consensual Intimate Imagery) refers to intimate or sexually explicit images or videos of a person that are created, obtained, or shared without their consent. It can involve real images as well as manipulated or AI-generated content.
What is NCII (Non-Consensual Intimate Imagery)?
NCII includes the unauthorized sharing of intimate images, often with the intent to harass, exploit, threaten, or cause harm to the person depicted. Advances in generative AI have also increased the risk of creating synthetic intimate imagery involving people without their permission.
Why is NCII Important?
NCII can cause serious privacy, safety, emotional, and reputational harm. AI applications and content platforms need effective safeguards to detect and prevent the generation, distribution, or facilitation of non-consensual intimate imagery while protecting legitimate users and content.
Common use cases
NCII detection and prevention are commonly relevant to generative AI platforms, content moderation systems, social media platforms, image-generation tools, and online safety programs.
