Meloni Denounces AI Deepfake Lingerie Photos as Political Attack
Meloni said the fake image was created with artificial intelligence and shared by political opponents, warning that deepfakes can deceive people who cannot fight back.
- On Tuesday, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni publicly denounced AI-generated deepfake images depicting her in lingerie, stating that political opponents circulated the manipulated content to undermine her reputation.
- This incident follows Meloni's previous legal battles, including a libel suit filed two years ago against a man in Sardinia accused of creating pornographic imagery using her face.
- "Deepfakes are a dangerous tool because they can deceive, manipulate and target anyone," Meloni said, emphasizing that many victims lack the platform to defend themselves against such falsehoods.
- Prosecutors in Rome opened an investigation into allegations including revenge porn and defamation, while Italian police ordered the platform hosting the images shut down following the outcry.
- Italy's government previously approved broad AI regulation aligned with the European Union's AI Act, establishing clear rules for content production as regulators grapple with synthetic media threats.
