"Unveiling the Black Box: GenAI's Influence on the Legal System"

The use of AI in the US legal system is expanding, but concerns are rising about the lack of transparency and potential biases in AI tools used by law enforcement and prosecutors. Trade secrets laws are preventing public scrutiny of these tools, creating a "black box" in the criminal justice system. Concerns about biased AI, particularly in facial recognition, have led to calls for regulation and testing of AI algorithms used in the legal system. Legislation has been proposed to address issues of testing and transparency in criminal justice, but challenges remain in ensuring fairness and accountability in the use of AI.

FTC Proposes Ban on AI Impersonation of Individuals

The Federal Trade Commission is proposing new rules to combat AI-driven impersonation fraud, seeking public comment on prohibiting the impersonation of individuals and extending protections to cover AI-generated deepfakes.

The proposed changes come in response to the increasing use of AI tools by fraudsters to impersonate individuals, with the FTC aiming to strengthen its toolkit to address AI-enabled scams and protect consumers from impersonator fraud.

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.

"Congress Urged to Act as AI-Generated Taylor Swift Images Go Viral"

US politicians are calling for new legislation to criminalize the creation of deepfake images after explicit faked photos of Taylor Swift circulated online, with one photo being viewed 47 million times before being taken down. Deepfakes, which use AI to manipulate someone's face or body in videos, have seen a 550% rise in creation since 2019, and there are currently no federal laws against sharing or creating them. Democratic and Republican representatives have emphasized the need for urgent action to combat the harm caused by deepfakes, particularly to women, and Swift's team is reportedly considering legal action against the site that published the AI-generated images.
