US Bill Proposes Legal Action for Victims of Taylor Swift Deepfakes

A bipartisan group of US senators introduced a bill criminalizing the spread of nonconsensual, sexualized AI-generated images, prompted by the recent proliferation of pornographic AI-made images of Taylor Swift. The bill, known as the Defiance Act, aims to allow victims to seek civil penalties against those involved in creating or distributing such images. The measure comes in response to the increasing prevalence of AI-generated "deepfakes" depicting real people in sexually explicit or false scenarios, and seeks to protect individuals from being featured in AI pornography without consent.
