The scandal with AI-created porn deepfakes “involving ” by singer Taylor Swift, which were distributed on X. The actors' union SAG-AFTRA condemned such “works” and supported the ban on such images, and the head of Microsoft, Satya Nadella, also expressed his opinion.
The actors' union called such deepfakes “sad, harmful and deeply disturbing”:
“The creation and distribution of fake images – especially obscene ones – without anyone's consent should be made illegal. As a society we can control these technologies, but we must act now before it is too late.”
The actors' union has been following this issue for years and has previously expressed support for state and federal laws prohibiting the distribution of fake pornographic images that copy someone's likeness without consent.
The union also supports broader legislation, the AI Fraud Stopping Act, which would prohibit the use of artificial intelligence to distribute fake copies of real people without consent, sexual or not.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella also spoke out about blatant AI-generated deepfakes of Taylor Swift. In an interview with NBC News, Nadella said:

“First of all, this is absolutely alarming and terrible, and so yes, we must act, and frankly, we are all platform technicians, regardless of your position on any specific issue – I think we all benefit when the online world is safe.”
Asked about the implications of artificial intelligence, Nadella spoke of “all the guardrails we have to put around the technology to create safer content. And there is a lot to be done there, and a lot is being done there.” Microsoft's CEO said law enforcement and technology platforms can work together and that corporations can do much more.
