Following the release of faked, sexually explicit images of Taylor Swift created by so-called artificial intelligence software, SAG-AFTRA called for laws making the development and distribution of such content illegal.
“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. As a society, we have it in our power to control these technologies, but we must act now before it is too late,” the guild said in a statement Friday afternoon.
“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.
