Microsoft Bing amps up its ability to stop explicit deepfake images from appearing in Search results


It's the first search engine to join StopNCII, an international tool for detecting revenge porn.

Based on a pilot that ran through August, Microsoft's new system harnesses StopNCII's database to immediately flag intimate images and prevent them being surfaced in Bing results. "Search engines are inevitably the gateway for images to be found, so this proactive step from Bing is putting the wellbeing of those directly affected front and center," said Sophie Mortimer, manager of the Revenge Porn Helpline. Earlier this year, Microsoft provided StopNCII with its in-house PhotoDNA technology, a similar "fingerprinting" tool that has been used to detect and help remove child sexual abuse material.
