This devastating crime affects one in three women
The UK Ministry of Justice has announced new legislation targeting the creation of hyper-realistic, sexually explicit deepfake images, a crime affecting one in three women. The rise of such images, often generated using AI tools, has been described as ‘alarming.’ Hera Hussain, founder of Chayn, an organization combating gender-based violence, highlighted the devastating impact on victims, including feelings of betrayal and withdrawal from online and offline interactions. The legislation is part of broader efforts to protect women and girls from online abuse.
