Summary

A report by Agora Digitale Transformation, a Germany-based civil society group, indicates that 50 members of the European Parliament, including 46 women, have been targeted by deepfake pornography. This generative AI technology creates sexually explicit depictions of people, often without their consent, affecting roughly one in six female members of the European Parliament. The European Union is set to ban AI-powered nudifier apps on December 2 and is investigating similar use of Grok on the social media platform X.
