An increase in pornographic deepfake images generated by artificial intelligence is prompting laws from the federal government to ban the sharing of non-consensual digitally created and altered sexually explicit material.
The Albanese government will introduce new laws banning the sharing of deepfake pornography and imposing a six-year prison term.
A deepfake is an image or video in which a person's face or body has been altered to make it appear they are doing or saying something that never actually happened. "We know it overwhelmingly affects women and girls who are the target of this kind of deeply offensive and harmful behaviour. It can inflict deep, long-lasting harm on victims," Mr Dreyfus said."The government's reforms will make clear that those who share sexually explicit material without consent, using technology like artificial intelligence, will be subject to serious criminal penalties.
