UK to Ban AI Tools That Can Create Deepfake Nudes

What if you drew pictures of naked girls?

What if you Photoshopped them?

Why is the AI illegal, unless there is a general push to crack down on people using AI?

The Guardian:

Britain is to become the first country to introduce laws tackling the use of AI tools to produce child sexual abuse images, amid warnings from law enforcement agencies of an ­alarming proliferation in such use of the technology.

In an attempt to close a legal ­loophole that has been a major ­concern for police and online safety campaigners, it will become illegal to possess, create or distribute AI tools designed to generate child sexual abuse material.

Those found guilty will face up to five years in prison.

It will also become illegal for anyone to possess manuals that teach potential ­offenders how to use AI tools to either make abusive imagery or to help them abuse children, with a potential prison sentence of up to three years.

A stringent new law targeting those who run or moderate websites designed for the sharing of images or advice to other offenders will be put in place. Extra powers will also be handed to the Border Force, which will be able to compel anyone who it suspects of posing a sexual risk to children to unlock their digital devices for inspection.

The news follows warnings that the use of AI tools in the creation of child sexual abuse imagery has more than quadrupled in the space of a year. There were 245 confirmed reports of AI-generated child sexual abuse images last year, up from 51 in 2023, according to the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF).

Peter Kyle, the technology ­secretary, said that the state had “failed to keep up” with the malign applications of the AI revolution.

Writing for the Observer, he said he would ensure that the safety of children “comes first”, even as he attempts to make the UK one of the world’s leading AI markets.

“A 15-year-old girl rang the NSPCC recently,” he writes. “An online ­stranger had edited photos from her social media to make fake nude images. The images showed her face and, in the background, you could see her bedroom. The girl was terrified that someone would send them to her parents and, worse still, the ­pictures were so convincing that she was scared her parents wouldn’t believe that they were fake.

“There are thousands of stories like this happening behind bedroom doors across Britain. Children being exploited. Parents who lack the knowledge or the power to stop it. Every one of them is evidence of the ­catastrophic social and legal failures of the past decade.”

This is just a total farce.

That bitch should be in jail for wasting people’s time.
