A Brisbane court is grappling with a shocking case: a software developer accused of weaponizing AI to create and distribute deepfake images of women and girls—including students and models—by digitally adding nudity and sending them to school officials and event organizers. The defendant, Antonio Rotondo, allegedly boasted that deepfakes are “unstoppable” and that “every woman on Earth should live in fear,” calling the act “fun” and likening it to having “X-ray vision glasses.” He’s charged with 17 counts, including stalking and distributing intimate images, and has pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors argue the offense lies in the creation and distribution itself—not sexual intent—and say victims were deeply distressed. Rotondo also claimed he didn’t know one victim was underage and hosted many images publicly. The trial continues as the jury weighs whether technology can be used to inflict harm without malicious intent.
