Elliston Berry, the victim who was in attendance at President Donald Trump’s speech to Congress, related her experiences of suffering from Deepfake pornography in a recent video. Apparently, one of her schoolmates used AI to create an image of her naked.
The official White House Instagram handle posted Elliston Berry’s video. “Elliston Berry joined President Trump at the Joint Session, a 15-year-old survivor of AI deepfakes who is battling to safeguard America’s children,” the caption read.
“With the Take It Down Act and backing from @FLOTUS Melania Trump, the next generation is safer from these attacks,” it continued.
In the video, Berry said she was a victim of the AI deepfake. She added, “A classmate of mine cyberbullied me and eight of my friends and subjected an innocent Instagram picture to an AI-editing app that stripped us naked and circulated it around my entire school. ” She then stated how she managed to take the picture off the internet.
One individual commented, “Wow, something good for once.” Another remarked, “That’s a good start. Protecting children from gun violence at schools should be the next step.” A third person noted, “This will be very important going forward. ” A fourth wrote, “You go, girl, spread that awareness and I’m very sorry it happened to you. ”
First Lady Melania Trump received two young women to her husband’s address. Among them was Elliston Berry from Aledo, Texas. She was also spotted with Melania Trump on Capitol Hill on Monday, where the First Lady met with lawmakers to discuss the sharing of sexually explicit images of victims without their consent.
“Hayley Ferguson, who was helped by the First Lady’s ‘Fostering the Future’ program and will complete her education, become a teacher. And Elliston Berry, who was a victim of a illegal deep fake photo created by a classmate. With Elliston’s help, the Senate just passed the Take It Down Act,” Trump stated in the speech.
