FBI warns of rising AI-generated sextortion schemes.

The FBI has issued a warning that criminals are using artificial intelligence to create sexually explicit images to intimidate and extort victims. The images are created using innocent images taken from online posts, private messages, or video chats, and are then doctored and sent to victims for sextortion or harassment. The FBI noted that technological advancements are continuously improving the quality, customizability, and accessibility of AI-enabled content creation. The bureau did not provide details on the program or programs being used to generate the sexual imagery.
