A bill combatting the spread of AI deepfakes just passed the Senate.

The Senate has passed the Take It Down Act, aimed at addressing the issue of AI-generated deepfakes. This legislation, co-sponsored by Senators Ted Cruz and Amy Klobuchar, criminalizes the publication of non-consensual intimate images, including those created by AI. Additionally, it mandates that social media platforms implement swift removal processes for such content when reported.

The bill's passage marks a significant step in regulating the misuse of AI technology in creating harmful content. With the growing prevalence of deepfakes, this legislation seeks to protect individuals from exploitation and uphold their rights. The act's potential to influence social media policies could reshape how platforms handle AI-generated content.

• The Take It Down Act targets AI-generated non-consensual images.
