Two Men Charged Under New Trump Law Targeting AI ‘Deepfakes’

The charges come amid concern about the spread of sexualized fakes online, sometimes with kids, created by more advanced AI algorithms.

In Ohio last month, a man became the first person convicted under the Take It Down Act when he pleaded guilty to utilizing AI to manufacture child sexual assault material.

Two adolescent lads were placed on probation in March for making explicit AI photos of their peers at an exclusive private school in Pennsylvania.

In a separate lawsuit filed earlier this year, three teens in Tennessee sued Elon Musk’s xAI, alleging the company’s Grok tools turned their genuine photos into sexually explicit images.
