Congress is actively addressing the rise of nonconsensual AI porn and explicit deepfakes, which have affected public figures, celebrities, and everyday people, including children. Political momentum is building to regulate the spread of these digitally altered images. A bipartisan group of senators has introduced the COPIED Act, which aims to enhance the watermarking of AI-generated content to make it easier to authenticate and protect against misuse. The legislation is part of a broader bipartisan effort to combat the proliferation of nonconsensual explicit deepfakes and protect individuals from their harmful impacts.
