Alecto AI is an American technology company focused on preventing and responding to non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII), deepfake pornography, and other forms of technology-facilitated sexual abuse. The company was founded in 2021 by activist and NCII survivor Breeze Liu to develop artificial-intelligence tools that help individuals detect, report, and remove abusive or manipulated images online.[1][2]
Alecto AI builds survivor-focused technology and policy tools and was cited by major media outlets during national discussions on deepfake exploitation and digital safety.[3]
Background
The company was created to address limitations in existing reporting systems for image-based sexual abuse and emerging AI-enabled exploitation. Liu founded Alecto AI to provide tools designed for survivors who face manipulated or synthetically generated intimate imagery that may not be detected by traditional hashing-based systems.[1]
Alecto AI describes its mission as centering survivor safety, consent, and transparency in the development of online abuse-prevention technology.[2]
Technology
Alecto AI develops software that enables survivors to verify their identity and report harmful imagery. The system assists with:
- detecting imagery that has been altered or generated by AI
- identifying deepfake and nudification-based content
- helping users request removal across online platforms
According to reporting, the platform uses facial-recognition matching and visual-analysis models to locate manipulated depictions that may not exactly match original photographs.[3]
Role in public policy
Alecto AI and its founder have been cited in conversations around U.S. federal legislation addressing online sexual abuse, including the TAKE IT DOWN Act.[4]
Liu and other advocates supported the bill's development and spoke publicly about the need for stronger protections for NCII survivors.[1]
Reception
Alecto AI and its founder have been featured in national and international media coverage discussing deepfakes, online abuse, and digital safety efforts.[1][2][3]
