New Zealand to vote on bill criminalizing non-consensual AI-generated sexual deepfakes.
New Zealand's Parliament is set to vote on a bill by ACT MP Laura McClure that would criminalize the non-consensual creation and distribution of sexually explicit deepfakes.
The proposed legislation aims to expand the definition of "intimate visual recording" to include AI-generated or altered images depicting individuals in sexual contexts without consent, updating existing laws to address digital abuse.
The bill seeks to give victims clearer legal avenues to remove harmful content and pursue justice, without broadly regulating technology.
Advocates report rising cases, especially among students, with organizations like Netsafe receiving daily complaints.
Although the bill was temporarily withdrawn from the ballot, it will be reintroduced for a first reading, reflecting growing urgency over deepfake abuse and the need for laws to keep pace with technology.
