New Zealand MP Uses AI-Generated Nude Image to Fight Deepfakes
Imagine if someone could create a fake photo of you doing something you didn't do.
That's what deepfakes are, and they're getting easier to make with AI.
A New Zealand politician, Laura McLeod McClure, showed an AI-made nude image of herself in Parliament to show how easy it is to create these fake images.
She's trying to pass a law to make it illegal to make or share these fake images without permission because they can be used to hurt and embarrass people, especially women.
Her goal is to stop the misuse of this technology and protect people from being harmed by deepfakes.
