Germany to crack down on sexualised deepfakes
Germany plans to crack down on sexualised deepfakes, the government said Friday, as a prominent TV personality accused her ex-husband of spreading AI-generated pornographic images of her online.
The German government wants to criminalize the creation and dissemination of sexual "deepfakes" and force platforms to act.
The case took on enormous proportions in Germany, as "the most serious example of how artificial intelligence is not just a tool for fake news, but also a weapon for violence between partners."
An express bill to close the legislative loopholes in cases of digital violence has been announced by Germany's Federal Justice Minister Stefanie Hubig, following the revelation of a well-known actress's complaint against her ex-husband for "digital rape", which has caused strong reactions at all levels. A demonstration on the topic of protection against digital and domestic violence is planned for tomorrow (22/03).
