50 members of European Parliament targeted by deepfake porn, report says

Fifty European Union lawmakers, including 46 women, have been the targets of deepfake pornography, according to new research released Monday. The number of women targeted by deepfake pornography — when generative AI is used to create sexually explicit depictions of people, often without their consent — means roughly one in six female members of the European Parliament have been affected, the report by Agora Digitale Transformation, a Germany-based civil society group, said. The European Union is banning AI-powered nudifier apps on Dec. 2, and is also investigating similar use of Grok on the social media platform X.
