Hyper-faking and fake nudes are phenomena that are gaining momentum. #x27;magnitude among young people due to easy-to-access apps and lack of awareness. This is the warning issued by the Régie intermunicipale de police Thérèse-De Blainville (RIPTB), after arresting five teenagers from the same secondary school in a case of # x27;hypertrucage.
The latter allegedly produced, using artificial intelligence (AI), hyper-faked images showing dozens of completely naked teenagers. This is reminiscent of the AI-generated pornographic images of American singer Taylor Swift that have invaded the web recently.
For Éric Huard, preventionist-investigator at RIPTB, this situation clearly illustrates the extent of the phenomenon of hyperfaking (deepfake in English) and the production of fake nudes among young people. It also shows, according to him, the trivialization of this act constituting the production of child pornography, a serious criminal offense.
We're at a stage where, using six or eight real photos of yourself and an app that costs $15 to $20, it's possible to create photos that look like fakes, he says.
Certain applications offer the possibility of creating material with sexual connotations, and we must remember to people that using a minor to create this content is child pornography.
L'investigator emphasizes the long-term consequences for victims when they are confronted with photos of themselves hyper-falsified with software. He acknowledges that it is difficult to limit the spread of content online, but says that one must be vigilant if one is exposed to content like this.

There is always a child who is a victim and who is sexually abused behind these images, real or not. In front of the world, the child will live with the impression that people have seen him naked, for real. This can have consequences for the rest of her days and cause difficulties at school, she argued on the show Le 15-18, on the airwaves of ICI Premiere.
For his part, Mr. Huard calls on parents to raise the subject with their children so that they are aware of the consequences that creating fake nudes can entail.
We are at a stage where we are teaching our children to compost and be careful before crossing the street, but we also want to create a generation of aware digital citizens.
A quote from Éric Huard, preventionist-investigator at RIPTB
If you realize that your child has around ten applications on his cell phone that you don't know about, try to learn more and push the discussion with him. The impact on the victims is extremely damaging, and the applications are made so efficient that the photos are misleading, concludes the investigator.
