Non-consensual intimate deepfakes are to be made a criminal offence, the Technology Secretary has announced, as she slammed AI images made using the chatbot Grok as 'weapons of abuse'.
Liz Kendall told MPs the Government will accelerate the law to criminalise the production of the sexual AI-generated images an offence by the end of the week.
She said many concerning images have appeared showing women “tied up and gagged, with bruises, covered in blood and much, much more”, as well as deepfakes of children emerging.
Making a statement in the Commons, the Technology Secretary said such images are being used as “weapons of abuse”.
She said the Internet Watch Foundation “reports criminal imagery of children as young as 11, including girls sexualised and toddlers”.
“We’ve seen reports of photos being shared of women in bikinis, tied up and gagged, with bruises, covered in blood, and much, much more.
"Lives can and have been devastated by this content which is designed to harass, torment and violate people’s dignity.
“They are not harmless images.
“They’re weapons of abuse, disproportionately aimed at women and girls, and they are illegal.”
Ms Kendall said creating or requesting to create non-consensual intimate images will become a criminal offence this week after legislation on it was passed last year.
She said she would make it a “priority offence” in the Online Safety Act.
