New laws to criminalise sexually explicit AI deepfakes welcomed

3 September, 2024

The Criminal Code Amendment (Deepfake Sexual Material) Bill 2024 will impose serious criminal penalties on those who share sexually explicit material without consent, including material that is digitally created using artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.
