Venus, the world's largest erotic trade fair, took place in Berlin at the weekend. In addition to live shows, vinyl and leather, an AI provider was also on site for the first time this year: EVA AI. In the "Digital Duplicate Lab", visitors were able to create their own AI avatar –, a kind of digital twin that transfers their own personality traits and characteristics into a personalized digital image. You can then chat with it. Unlike the current chatbots from large AI providers, there are no guidelines for the erotic sector.
So far, the technology has mainly been used by content creators from the adult entertainment industry. Porn stars provide EVA AI with personal information, fans can then chat with the bots and feel even closer to their favorite star with corresponding image and voice generator tools. This generates passive income for the performers and saves them a lot of emotional work – but what about data and copyright concerns?
What happens to the data that EVA AI receives
EVA AI invites people to share intimate information. With statements such as "I want to know everything about you" or "I love it when you send me your photos and your voice", the AI strongly urges the disclosure of sensitive data. Although EVA AI emphasizes in its privacy policy that it neither rents nor sells the personal information, there are indications that this data is shared within the company structure. In addition, EVA AI reserves the right to change its privacy policy at any time. This means that a later adjustment of the guidelines could reduce data protection without users being immediately aware of it.
There is also no information on what happens to the right to one's own image and voice if EVA AI creates a digital twin for you.
If that doesn't put you off, you could even win something at Venus: EVA AI introduced a new category at the Venus Awards at the trade fair – "Best Digital Duplicate by EVA AI" – This recognizes the best digital duplicates in the categories of realism, creativity and usability.
