EU Proposes Ban on AI-Generated Sexual Deepfakes Including Child Abuse Material

The European Union has proposed banning AI systems that generate sexualized deepfakes, including child sexual abuse material, following investigations into Elon Musk's xAI chatbot Grok. EU member states support this amendment to the bloc's AI regulations, with lawmakers scheduled to vote on the ban. The move aims to address concerns over non-consensual sexual content and protect vulnerable groups, amid broader debates on AI governance and privacy.
