A deepfake refers to manipulated media, often video or audio, created using AI to make someone appear to say or do something they didn’t. The U.K. had already made sharing — and the threat of sharing — sexually explicit deepfake content an offence via the Online Safety Act that went into force last year. But creating the content itself was not covered. As such, the Ministry of Justice today announced plans to make the existing rules more holistic, covering those who create it too — irrespective of what role they play in any subsequent sharing.The U.K. is forging ahead with plans to make the act of creating sexually explicit “deepfake” images a specific criminal offence. Do you think tht deepfake is worth exploring ?
