Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are calling for stronger laws on nonconsensual AI-generated pornography after superstar Taylor Swift became the disgusting practice’s latest victim. “Intimate deepfake images like those targeting Taylor Swift are disturbing, and sadly, they’re becoming more and more pervasive across the internet,” Rep. Joe Morelle, a New York Democrat who earlier this month introduced a bill that would outlaw nonconsensual AI-generated porn, told Futurism in a statement. “I’m appalled this type of sexual exploitation isn’t a federal crime—which is why I introduced legislation to finally make it one.” Though Swift is now the most famous person to be targeted by these repulsive faux-smut peddlers, who proceeded to spread the images far and wide online this past week, she’s far from the only one. Indeed, in a press release announcing the bill, Morelle cited the story of Francesa Mani, a 14-year-old New Jersey girl who was, along with other classmates, the victim of this kind of gross image manipulation last fall. “Just because I’m a teenager doesn’t mean my voice isn’t powerful,” Mani said in the congressman’s announcement. “Staying silent? Not an option. We are given voices to challenge, to speak up against the injustices we face. What happened to me and my classmates was not cool, and there’s no way I’m just going to shrug and let it slide.” While the NJ teen’s case is particularly appalling because of her age, the harm these kinds of AI-spoofed images cause doesn’t end when girls turn 18….New Law Would Illegalize AI Taylor Swift Porn Flooding Internet
