Family court grants man protection order against wife over AI-generated abuse

A family court has granted a man a personal protection order (PPO) against his wife, who had abused him emotionally or psychologically with text messages about him having sex with his sister.

The court found that the sending of fake images and videos of the husband and his sister engaging in sexual acts, generated by artificial intelligence, amounted to family violence.

The man had sought the PPO alleging that his wife had inflicted emotional or psychological abuse on him by accusing him of having sex with his sister.

The wife had an acrimonious relationship with her husband’s sister, according to a judgment published on Wednesday.

The man said what sparked the saga was that he had agreed to contribute S$100,000 (US$79,120) towards his father’s medical bills.

He also informed his wife that he had transferred about S$65,000 to his sister.
