AI used to make 'fetishised' images of disabled women

The photo-realistic sexualised images, which have gained millions of views on social media, are deceptive as they are often not labelled as AI-generated. Some account owners use artificial intelligence to manipulate real images of non-disabled women, making them appear to have Down syndrome, a genetic condition caused by an extra chromosome. One such TikTok video of a young woman dancing in shorts and a cropped top has had 4 million views since last year. The British Down's Syndrome Association condemned the "alarming trend".
