Congress Grills Big Tech on Deepfake Pornography Problem
US Congress has sent letters to tech executives including Apple's Tim Cook, expressing concerns over the creation of deepfake non-consensual intimate images using apps available on their platforms. The letters were prompted by earlier reports of nude deepfakes being created with dual-use apps, which advertised face swapping features that users exploited to place faces into pornographic images. Congress is asking these tech companies to explain how they plan to stop the generation of such content.
