European Council includes ban on nudification tools in its proposal for amending AI Act

AI Summary

The European Council has proposed an amendment to the EU AI Act that would explicitly ban AI tools used to generate non-consensual sexual and intimate imagery, as well as child sexual abuse material. The new provision strengthens protections against so-called nudification AI applications. This is part of ongoing efforts to regulate harmful AI-generated content in Europe.

The Council said in a press release that it has added a new provision in the AI Act “prohibiting AI practices regarding the generation of non-consensual sexual and intimate content or child sexual abuse material.”
