A bipartisan group of US senators introduced a bill Tuesday that would criminalize the spread of nonconsensual, sexualized images generated by artificial intelligence. The measure comes in direct response to the proliferation of pornographic AI-made images of Taylor Swift on X, formerly Twitter, in recent days.
The measure would allow victims depicted in nude or sexually explicit “digital forgeries” to seek a civil penalty against “individuals who produced or possessed the forgery with intent to distribute it” or anyone who received the material knowing it was not made with consent. Dick Durbin, the US Senate majority whip, and senators Lindsey Graham, Amy Klobuchar and Josh Hawley are behind the bill, known as the Disrupt Explicit Forged Images and Non-Consensual Edits Act of 2024, or the “Defiance Act.”
So they can still make them the old school way using Photoshop?
This is exactly what has me irritated about this whole nonsense… People have been doing that since Photoshop existed, but big scary AI is in the news now so we are going to attack it full force because people are using it in the way they’ve used everything that has similar capabilities…
Still no action on our actual issues though, just some performative bullshit to assist the truly needy of our society, billionaires…
That’s still a digital forgery.
OP knows this. You missed OP’s point.
Only if they do it badly. The bill defines anything as a “digital forgery” that is made with “technological means”:
Unless I am missing something the deep fakes of Taylor Swift wouldn’t actually be covered then 😄
Well then the headline/title is terrible because it specifies AI.
So, oil painting it is.
