Generating, sharing explicit 'deepfakes' to be a crime in UK now
In the UK, creating and sharing sexually explicit “deepfake” images without consent is now a criminal offense. This legislation addresses the rise in AI-generated content that misuses individuals’ likenesses, particularly affecting women and girls. Perpetrators may face up to two years in prison. The law also targets non-consensual intimate image capture and the installation of equipment for such purposes. These measures aim to combat online abuse and protect personal privacy.
