Over 90% of deepfake content online is pornographic, and the vast majority of this content (approximately 96%) explicitly targets women.
Yet, in 2023, women-founded startups received only 2% or less of venture capital funding in Europe and the United States.
Despite the overwhelming majority of deepfakes being sexually explicit images of women and girls, according to Melissa Hutchins, the field of deepfake detection is dominated by male-led companies, presenting a narrow, homogenous perspective.
This is not just an oversight; it's a reflection of a deeper systemic issue where the potential for impact by female-led solutions is vastly underfunded and undervalued.
At MAMAMUSE™, we launched a petition, "Rich Men to Hardcore Fund Females Offsetting Hardcore Impacts of Porn x AI x Violence."
Our petition states:
“Online deep-fake porn that objectifies women, girls, and boys is running prolific while our health and sexual wellness advertising is simultaneously censored revealing a deep systems engineering error that ties back to missing feminine philosophical perspectives — we have them.
This is not human-centered design. These dynamics combined with our society’s total lack of competence in education and transparency on matters of sexual health, exploitation, pleasure, true feminine biology, physiology, and reproduction, has led us somewhere that only the feminine perspective can lead us out of.
It is imperative that you take women seriously because as the people who have been commodified, exploited, and dominated in these ecosystems, as an extension of millennia of gender-bias coded into history, only we have the missing perspective to correct for this to the benefit of all, you included.
Our qualifications to drive this endeavor include years in the tech ecosystem globally, roadmaps for all of this developed over a lifetime, study of nearly every discipline and rabbit hole, and first-hand experience with such behaviors including rape, strangulation, almost being killed, and being harassed in these ecosystems.
These experiences have honed our insight, persistence, risk management skills, and hardcore f💫cking tenacity as it relates to successfully navigating the development of an ethical Sex Tech ecosystem.
We are overqualified.”
