How AI Deepfakes Have Skirted Revenge Porn Laws

The U.S. Senate passed legislation allowing victims of AI-generated deepfake sexual images to sue amid inconsistent international AI regulations and enforcement gaps.

Summary by TechXplore
Federal and state governments have outlawed "revenge porn," the nonconsensual online sharing of sexual images of individuals, often by former partners. Last year, South Carolina became the 50th state to enact such a law. The recent rise of easy-to-use generative AI tools, however, has introduced a new wrinkle: What happens when those images look real but have been created by AI? What's lawful in the U.S. and who's responsible is not yet clear.
