The circulation of deep fake images, including offensive AI-created images of Taylor Swift, has sparked a push to ban deep fakes and revenge porn. Efforts include legislation at both state and federal levels, as well as technological solutions such as digital fingerprinting and digital watermarks. The rise of AI applications that can manipulate images and voices has led to concerns about political manipulation and scams targeting the elderly.
