The spread of AI-generated explicit images resembling Taylor Swift, viewed 45 MILLION times in just 19 hours, and deepfake robocalls mimicking President Joe Biden, traced back to ElevenLabs' technology, has sparked a bipartisan response among lawmakers, highlighting the urgency for regulatory measures. Congressman Kean has introduced the AI Labeling Act, aiming to establish safeguards against such abuses of AI technology. The incident has raised questions about the responsibility of AI tool vendors, such as Microsoft, whose tools were allegedly used to create the content. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has acknowledged the severity of the issue, emphasizing the need for swift action. The situation underscores the broader risks associated with AI, with experts noting a majority of AI-generated videos are pornographic and nonconsensual, disproportionately targeting women. International cooperation, as indicated by the U.S. and China, is deemed necessary to address AI safety. Lawmakers are calling for legislation, with the 'Preventing Deepfakes of Intimate Images Act' and the 'No AI FRAUD Act' being pushed forward to combat this growing problem. Following the scandal, ElevenLabs has suspended the creator's account associated with the Biden deepfake.
