The Christian Action Research and Education charity said that appointing a dedicated AI regulator could help resolve and police the issue
The charity’s intervention comes as Parliament prepares to debate legislation tabled by Conservative peer Lord Holmes of Richmond that would establish a central AI regulator, known as the AI Authority, in the UK. But Louise Davies, director of advocacy and policy at Care, said a centralised AI regulator was “essential” and warned that the current situation was a “paedophiles charter”.“Sinister new technologies allow users to ‘digitally undress’ any woman or child in a photograph and superimpose a person’s face on to pornographic videos.
“We see no reason why individuals should be allowed to market tools that let others create sexual images of real people without consent. Under the new legislation, anyone who creates a sexually explicit deepfake without consent will face a criminal record and an unlimited fine.The creation of a deepfake will be an offence irrespective of whether the creator intended to share it or not, the department added.
