EU States Propose Ban on AI-Generated Sexualised Deepfakes Including Child Abuse Material

European Union member states have agreed to ban AI systems that generate non-consensual sexual and intimate content, including child sexual abuse material, following concerns over such images produced by Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok. This proposal aims to amend the EU's AI regulations and requires approval from the European Parliament, which is set to vote on a related measure. Investigations into Grok's sexualised deepfakes are ongoing in several EU countries, while discussions on the AI Act's revisions may take up to a year.
