Time covers the introduction of the ‘Take It Down Act,’ a US legislative proposal designed to regulate AI-generated deepfake content that harms individuals. The bill focuses on non-consensual deepfake videos and images, requiring platforms to remove such content and imposing penalties for malicious use. It addresses the rising threat of misinformation, harassment, and privacy violations facilitated by AI deepfakes.

The legislation aims to balance free speech rights with protections against AI misuse, promoting transparency and accountability among content platforms. This act is part of a broader movement to regulate synthetic media and could serve as a precedent for future AI content governance.
