Senators Ted Cruz and Amy Klobuchar, along with other lawmakers, are pushing for a bill to criminalize nonconsensual 'deepfake' images. This legislative effort follows a surge in AI-generated pornography, which has been used to create simulated images of individuals without their permission. Human porn stars have also reported that the new technology has been used to make them do or say things without their consent. A Texas teenager from Aledo High, a victim of deepfake nudes, has publicly spoken out about her experience, describing feelings of shame and fear. This issue has highlighted the need for updated laws to address the misuse of AI technology in creating humiliating and nonconsensual content.
