US First [[https://www.deviantart.com/search?q=Lady%20Melania Lady Melania]] Trump on Monday threw her support behind a bill aimed at protecting Americans from deepfake revenge pornography, in her first solo public engagement since her husband returned to the White House.
---
---
---
---
---
---
Appearing in a roundtable discussion on Capitol Hill, she sought to shine a spotlight on the Take It Down Act, which criminalizes the online publication of non-consensual sexual imagery that is often created using cheap and widely available artificial intelligence tools.
---
---
---
---
---
---
"In today's AI-driven world, the threat of privacy breaches is alarming and high," the first lady told the panel, sitting next to two teenage female victims of deepfake porn.
---
---
---
---
---
---
"It's heartbreaking to witness young teens, especially girls, grappling with the overwhelming challenges posed by malicious online content," she added.
---
---
---
---
---
---
The bill, introduced by Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, would require social media platforms and websites to have procedures in place to swiftly remove non-consensual intimate imagery, including AI-generated pornography, upon notification from a victim.
---
---
---
---
---
---
Though it has passed a vote in the US Senate, the bill has yet to clear the House of Representatives.
---
---
---
---
---
---
While urging bipartisan support for the bill, Melania took a dig at Democrats for not prioritizing its passage.
---
---
---
---
---
---
"I expected to see more Democrat leaders with us here today to address this serious issue," she said.
---
---
---
---
---
---
"Surely as adults, we can prioritize American children ahead of partisan politics."
---
---
---
---
---
---
An online boom in non-consensual deepfakes is currently outpacing efforts to regulate the technology around the world due to a proliferation of AI tools, including photo apps digitally undressing women.
---
---
---
---
---
---
A handful of US states including California and Florida have passed laws making sexually explicit deepfakes a punishable offense, and campaigners are calling on Congress to urgently pass a host of bills to regulate their creation and dissemination, including the Take It Down Act.
---
---
---
---
---
---
While high-profile politicians and celebrities, including singer Taylor Swift, have been victims of deepfake porn, [[https://cihes.fkunswagati.ac.id/?page=SENSA69 Sex]] experts say women not in the public eye are equally vulnerable.
---
---
---
---
---
---
A wave of AI porn scandals have been reported at schools across US states -- from California to New Jersey -- with hundreds of teenagers often targeted by their own classmates.
---
---
---
---
---
---
Such non-consensual imagery can lead to harassment, [[https://www.houzz.com/photos/query/bullying bullying]] or blackmail, sometimes causing devastating mental health consequences, experts warn.
---
---
---
---
---
---
The scandals led to a warning from the FBI last year that such child sexual abuse material, including realistic AI-generated images, was illegal.
---
---
---
---
---
---
"In an era where digital interactions are integral to daily life, it is imperative that we safeguard children from mean-spirited and hurtful online behavior," the first lady said.
---
---
---
---
---
---
The roundtable marked Melania's first solo public engagement since Donald Trump began his second White House term.
---
---
---
---
---
---
The first lady has largely been an elusive figure at the White House, spending only limited time in Washington since her husband took the oath of office on January 20.
