Seoul National University in South Korea embedded anti-deepfake technology into 5,800 graduation portraits for the 2026 yearbook.
The university took this step after sexually explicit deepfakes were created using graduation photos of women, as part of a digital sex crime involving SNU alumni. SNU’s student council partnered with StealCut, a startup created by SNU graduates, to apply the StealCut Protect technology to the photos. StealCut stated this is the first time this technology has been used in South Korea.
