NL Times – A scandal involving AI-generated fake nude images of dozens of women has triggered widespread outrage in the Netherlands and prompted calls for urgent legal reform. The manipulated images, shared on social media and private platforms, targeted mostly young women without consent.

Legal experts and women’s rights advocates are demanding new laws criminalizing the non-consensual use of AI in generating sexualized content, warning that current legal frameworks are insufficient to handle such abuses. The article compares the phenomenon to digital gender-based violence.

The Dutch Data Protection Authority and lawmakers are reportedly reviewing options for criminal penalties, takedown obligations, and compensation mechanisms for victims. The scandal adds pressure on the EU to include such use cases in upcoming AI regulatory initiatives.
