Taylor Swift deepfakes spark calls for new regulations around AI

Pornographic pictures of Taylor Swift have flooded the internet, but here’s the scary thing… her phone wasn’t hacked.

The images are not real. They were created by artificial intelligence. The photos showed the singer in sexually suggestive and explicit positions.

Social media platform ‘X’ removed them, but not before they were viewed tens of millions of times.

Swift’s defenders swarmed ‘X’ to demand owner Elon Musk remove all traces of the computer-generated material.

It’s not known where the images originated or who first posted them. With A.I. concerns growing, we spoke to media expert Mohit Rajhans.
