"Rising Concerns Over AI-Generated Taylor Swift Deepfakes Prompt Legal Action"
Advances in artificial intelligence have made it easier and faster to create convincing fake pornography, posing a significant challenge for Canadian policymakers. While eight provinces have enacted intimate image laws, only half of them refer to altered images. British Columbia recently implemented a law allowing people to seek civil resolution to remove intimate images, real or fake, from the internet and pursue damages. Experts emphasize the urgent need for comprehensive legislation to combat deepfakes on social media and address the creators of non-consensual images. The rise of AI-generated fake explicit images has prompted calls for legal recourse and content moderation by websites to protect individuals from the misuse of deepfake technology.
