50 EU-parlamentariker utsatta för deepfake-porr, varav 46 kvinnor â Morgonbladet

A study conducted by the think tank Agora Digitale Transformation reveals that 50 Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) have been depicted in AI-generated pornographic material without their consent, with 46 of them being women. This represents approximately one in six female MEPs, highlighting the prevalence of deepfake pornography where AI is used to manipulate images and videos by superimposing real people's faces onto sexual content. The material was created and distributed without the knowledge or permission of the affected individuals, constituting a serious violation of privacy for elected officials. The EU has taken regulatory steps, with a ban on AI apps generating nude material set to take effect on December 2 as part of broader AI legislation, while also investigating the presence of such content on X, where the platform's Grok AI model is suspected of involvement.
