Abstract
- The UK government plans to criminalize the creation of sexually explicit deepfake images as part of efforts to address violence against women. Those found guilty of creating such deepfakes without consent, even if they do not intend to share them, could face prosecution and an unlimited fine. Sharing the images could also result in imprisonment. The rise of artificial intelligence has led to an increase in the creation and dissemination of deepfake images and videos, which are often used to humiliate or distress victims. The government is also introducing new criminal offenses for taking or recording real intimate images without consent, as well as for installing equipment to enable such actions. Offenders who cause death through abusive, degrading, or dangerous sexual behavior will face additional penalties. [Extracted from the article]
