Someone Created a Fake Nude Photo of Me Using AI – What Should I Do?

Someone Created a Fake Nude Photo of Me Using AI – What Should I Do?

If someone has used AI or image manipulation to create a fake nude or intimate photograph of you, do not panic. Preserve evidence and take organised steps to report the conduct.

1. Capture the evidence

Screenshot the fake profile, post or message. Save the exact URL and username. Preserve the original photograph if available.

2. Record who received it

If the fake image was sent to friends, family, colleagues or other people, preserve evidence of those communications without unnecessarily forwarding the image again.

3. Report the account

Use the platform’s reporting process. The National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal also provides a facility to report suspect social-media URLs and other identifiers. citeturn0search16

5. Consider legal provisions

Depending on the facts, identity theft, personation, privacy and electronic-content provisions under the Information Technology Act may be relevant. The exact legal provisions should be determined from the conduct and evidence. citeturn0search1
