Millions of women are victims of fake sexual content on the internet, created with AI. Deepfakes can look deceptively real, but the images, audio, or video recordings are manipulated.
When Kate Isaacs clicks on the video, she is thoroughly confused: She and a stranger are having sex. Her first thoughts are: “Who’s that man? Who’s recording this?” And then she realizes that the video is on the internet.
After the initial shock, the reality hits her: This is a deepfake, and she is a victim of image-based sexual violence. Worldwide, millions of women are knowingly or unknowingly victims of deepfake porn – pornographic content created by using artificial intelligence. The technology has advanced so rapidly that these days, anybody with a smartphone and a few pictures of their target can create and distribute deepfake porn, using freely accessible apps.
The real-world harm caused by virtual abuse is profound: Damaged reputations, career setbacks, threats of violence, depression, suicide. No one is safe, and anyone can be targeted. Yet it is almost impossible to defend oneself.
Can it help with post traumatic stress, anxiety, and drug addictions?
25 Feb 2024
The psychoactive substance ayahuasca is common in Brazil. For generations, indigenous people have incorporated it into their rituals. Researchers say it can serve as an alternative to anti-depressants – and as a way to treat drug addiction. Ayahuasca translates as “spirits of the woody vine.” In Brazil, consuming it as part of religious rituals has been legal for decades. In the village of the Huni Kuin tribe, the plants needed to make the sacramental drink grow right next to the river.
Villagers gather once a month to drink the brown liquid from a small glass. It’s a bitter brew made by boiling a special type of vine with the leaves of a coffee plant. It puts the Huni Kuin people into a rapturous, hallucinatory state that lasts hours. It’s a cleansing, healing journey of self-discovery, says tribal elder Ibã Huni Kuin.
A growing number of foreigners and Brazilians are travelling to the state of Acre to join in these spiritual experiences. But in Rio de Janeiro – not far from the Sugar loaf Mountain – there’s an ayahuasca church that’s existed for decades. Several times of month, a religious congregation gathers at the church for an intoxicating ayahuasca ceremony that goes on for hours and involves dancing and the recitation of verses celebrating nature and the Catholic faith.
Back in the ayahuasca heartlands of Brazil, chief Ibã Huni Kuin uses art to capitalize financially on his ayahuasca ceremonies. This money, in turn, goes to help protect the rainforest.

En ningún otro lugar, la ayahuasca, una sustancia psicoactiva, está tan extendida como en Brasil. Los pueblos precolombinos la toman desde hace siglos. Según estudios científicos, podría aliviar padecimientos como la depresión o las adicciones.
Ayahuasca se traduce como “vid del alma”. En Brasil, el consumo de ayahuasca en ceremonias religiosas es legal desde hace décadas. En la aldea del pueblo indígena Huni kuin, las plantas utilizadas como ingredientes crecen justo al lado del río. Los aldeanos se reúnen una vez al mes.
Luego todos beben el líquido marrón en vasos pequeños. Es una infusión amarga elaborada a partir de un tipo de liana y hojas de cafeto. Sus efectos, que pueden incluir cambios en la percepción, duran varias horas.
Es una experiencia de purificación, de curación y autodescubrimiento, dice el jefe Ibã Huni Kuin, que considera que la demanda de ceremonias de ayahuasca está aumentando. Cada vez más extranjeros y brasileños van a Acre para tener una experiencia espiritual con los indígenas.
También en Río de Janeiro, no lejos del Pan de Azúcar, existe desde hace décadas la Iglesia de Ayahuasca del Santo Daime. Las comunidades religiosas se reúnen aquí varias veces al mes para cantar y bailar durante horas bajo la influencia de la ayahuasca.
Este reportaje se adentra en la región de la ayahuasca y muestra, entre cosas, cómo el jefe Ibã Huni Kuin ha logrado, con la ayuda del arte, obtener capital financiero de sus ceremonias de ayahuasca con el fin de proteger la selva.
