Biden Administration Calls for Tech Industry Action on AI-Generated Sexual Abuse Images

The White House seeks voluntary measures from companies to curb the creation and spread of nonconsensual explicit AI deepfakes.

The administration urges tech firms and financial institutions to disrupt the monetization of AI-generated abusive images.
New AI tools have made it easier to create realistic, explicit deepfakes without consent, affecting both celebrities and minors.
The White House's call includes action from AI developers, payment processors, cloud services, and app store gatekeepers.
Efforts to address the issue include voluntary commitments from major tech companies and a push for legislative support.
High-profile cases, including those involving celebrities and students, highlight the urgent need for industry cooperation.
