The First Lady of the United States, Melania Trump, supported a bill aimed at protecting Americans from deepfake pornography. Speaking during a roundtable discussion on Capitol Hill, she sought to draw attention to the Take It Down law, which criminalizes the online publication of sexual images without consent, which are often created using cheap and widely available artificial intelligence tools.
