UK to Criminalize AI-Generated Sexually Explicit Deepfakes, Up to 2 Years in Prison
Jan 7, 2025, 05:50 AM
The UK government has announced plans to criminalize the creation and sharing of sexually explicit 'deepfake' images, marking a significant crackdown on online abuse. The new legislation will make it an offense to produce and distribute these AI-generated images without consent, with perpetrators facing up to two years in prison. Justice Minister Alex Davies-Jones emphasized the government's commitment to tackling this 'demeaning and disgusting form of chauvinism,' which has seen a surge in proliferation, particularly targeting women and girls. The move builds on previous laws aimed at curbing the sharing of intimate images and is part of a broader effort to protect individuals from online harassment and abuse.
