The surge in people creating explicit deepfakes through the use of AI technology is incredibly concerning. This horrific online abuse has a detrimental impact on victims, of which 99% are women.
I am pleased that Ministers have listened to Baroness Owen and have agreed to make changes to the Data (Use and Access) Bill based on the proposals she put forward in her campaign on the issue. These measures will crack down on deepfake image abuse and strengthen protections for women and girls online.
