See THIS disturbing report on how the law on deep fakes is not being enforced
Campaigners have accused the government of dragging its heels on implementing a law which would make it illegal to create non-consensual sexualised deep fakes. It comes amid a backlash against images created using Elon Musk's AI Grok to digitally remove clothing - with one woman telling the BBC more than 100 sexualised images have been created of her. It is currently illegal to share deep fakes of adults in the UK, external, but new legislation that would make it a criminal offence to create or request them is still not in force despite passing in June 2025, external. But it is unclear whether all of the unclothing images created by Grok would fall foul of this law. The BBC has contacted the government for comment.
There is much more information in the article. Quite rightly agencies affected are asking pointed questions about why no action has followed th passing of the law into force.
