Governments and lawmakers globally are taking action against the proliferation of deepfake technology and its implications for privacy, security, and democracy. South Korea has announced a 90-day ban on deepfakes leading up to their April elections, in response to deepfakes circulating of political figures like Joe Biden and Rishi. The use of deepfake technology in creating fake IDs has surged, with a 3000% increase in deepfake fraud last year, posing a significant threat to areas such as bank fraud and money laundering. Utah state lawmakers have proposed changes to social media regulations to protect minors, while Florida's Senate Judiciary Committee advances a social media ban for most children. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children is focusing on keeping kids safe from online abuse and exploitation, as technology both poses risks and offers tools for child safety. The White House is also stepping up efforts to combat deepfakes, and the EU Commission is updating criminal law rules on child sexual abuse and exploitation. Additionally, there has been a legislative push in the US, including the proposed Jenna Quinn Law of 2024, to address the risks posed by AI-generated explicit videos and deepfake pornography.
