US EditionEurope Takes First Step to Banning AI-Generated Child Sexual Abuse Images
EU member states propose banning AI-generated sexualised deepfakes including child abuse material amid regulatory scrutiny of Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok, with parliamentary vote pending.
- On March 13, European ambassadors agreed to ban AI practices generating non-consensual sexual or child sexual abuse content, proposing to amend the bloc's landmark AI rules adopted two years ago.
- Following global outrage over Grok-generated images, national regulators in Britain, Ireland and Spain plus the European Commission are investigating Elon Musk's xAI chatbot Grok's sexualised deepfakes.
- EU lawmakers will vote on the ban in committee on Wednesday, while EU ambassadors approved a fixed delay for high-risk AI rules: December 2027 and August 2028.
- The change becomes law after Parliament and member-state negotiations, and X said it had 'zero tolerance' for sexualised deepfakes, implementing measures after the global outrage.
- Political debates over watering down the AI Act mean EU lawmakers and the tech industry must stake out positions amid a likely one-year negotiation period, Sergey Lagodinsky said 'It's about how much power we are willing to give AI to degrade people'.
