Protecting Teen Girls: The Battle Against Deepfake Nudes

A mother and her 14-year-old daughter are advocating for better protections for victims after AI-generated nude images of the teen and other female classmates were circulated at a high school in New Jersey. The cases highlight the increasing prevalence of explicit AI-generated material that disproportionately harms women and children. Advocates are calling for federal regulation to provide uniform protections and send a strong message to perpetrators. Several states have passed their own laws criminalizing nonconsensual deepfake porn, while others are considering legislation. The mother and daughter are pushing for more protections and planning to advocate for legislation in New Jersey and Washington.
