AI Image-to-Video: Risks and Concerns for Children

• Generative AI tools have made it easier to turn photos into videos, potentially posing a risk to children’s images.

• Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian used an AI-generated video of his mother and himself, causing a viral reaction.

• Other platforms like Midjourney, Google’s ‘Create’ mode, and smaller platforms offer similar capabilities.

• AI tools have been used to enhance old media through AI upscaling, but GenAI allows users to morph and manipulate images.

• Legal questions arise, as permission is usually required before making significant edits to a copyrighted creation.

• Ethical concerns arise when a photo featuring someone who is no longer alive is manipulated, particularly for children.

• Cybercriminals can create realistic AI videos of minors using publicly available photos, increasing the risk of deepfakes, defamation, and abuse.

• Under the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), children cannot legally consent to the use of their personal data, including their image, until they turn 16 years old.

• AI chatbots often generate sexual content, and AI firms are aggressively promoting their services.

• Less malicious uses, such as animating a child’s photo for advertising or entertainment purposes, can also jeopardize children’s privacy, dignity, and autonomy.

Hindu’s Concerns Over AI’s Child Exploitation

• Hindu seeks clarification on safeguards on Google and xAI to prevent child-related content from being turned into videos.

• The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) in the U.S. expresses concern over Generative AI’s use in sexually exploiting children.

• EU laws provide some safeguards but are not specifically designed for AI content.

• In India, MEITY advises platforms to remove morphed content, especially graphic or sexually abusive content.

• AI providers are beginning to build in safeguards, but these are uneven across platforms and not always effective.
