Deepfake Pornography

Sexually explicit image or video content created using artificial intelligence to graft a real person's face or likeness onto another person's body without the depicted person's consent, most often targeting a private individual or a public figure such as a celebrity or public official. A number of countries, and within the United States a growing number of individual states, enacted specific criminal legislation addressing the creation or distribution of non-consensual deepfake pornography during the early 2020s, after existing laws addressing non-consensual intimate image distribution, drafted before the technology existed, were found not to clearly cover a fabricated image of a real person rather than a genuine photograph or recording of them.
