EU Bans AI Nudifier Apps Amid Deepfake Outrage
The European Parliament has approved a ban on AI tools that create sexualized deepfakes without consent, following outrage over explicit fake images generated by Elon Musk’s chatbot Grok. This measure, part of the broader EU Artificial Intelligence Act, targets “nudifier” systems that manipulate intimate images of identifiable individuals. While the ban passed overwhelmingly, lawmakers also voted to delay key parts of the AI law concerning high-risk systems, with new compliance deadlines set for late 2027 and 2028 respectively.
