In this final discussion of our series on sex and AI, we’re diving into a crucial conversation about the regulation of intimate imagery in the age of AI. As new technologies emerge, so do the challenges they present, particularly when it comes to privacy, consent, and image use.
Let’s start with some legislative actions that have taken place recently. One of the most significant developments is the TAKE IT DOWN Act, enacted in May 2025. This act tackles the non-consensual publication of intimate content, including those deepfakes created using artificial intelligence. It requires online platforms to remove such material within 48 hours of being notified by victims. That means if someone is targeted by an AI-generated deepfake, there’s a mechanism in place to get it taken down quickly. This is a crucial step in protecting individual rights in an increasingly digital world.
