Someone (apparently some dudes who were mad at Taylor for being at a football game) used AI to create pornographic images of Taylor Swift and distributed them online, where they got over 45 million views.
SAG released a statement saying, “the sexually explicit, A.I.-generated images depicting Taylor Swift are upsetting, harmful, and deeply concerning. The development and dissemination of fake images — especially those of a lewd nature — without someone’s consent must be made illegal… SAG-AFTRA continues to support legislation by Congressman Joe Morelle, the Preventing Deepfakes of Intimate Images Act, to make sure we stop exploitation of this nature from happening again.”
Lawmakers are calling upon Congress to pass legislation that would regulate artificial intelligence after explicit AI generated photos of Taylor Swift were posted online. https://t.co/ywy29aQ1V9
