The European Union reaches a tentative agreement on updating its approach to regulating artificial intelligence. Under the provisional deal, EU rules would include a ban on the use of AI to create pornographic deepfakes and other sexualized imagery, often referred to as “nudifier” apps. The agreement also covers changes to parts of the EU’s AI Act, with the aim of simplifying or amending certain regulatory provisions. The sources describe the deal as provisional, meaning it is not yet final and may still require further steps before it becomes law. In addition to the specific prohibition on “nudifier” uses, the broader package focuses on modifying how the AI Act applies to particular activities or categories of AI systems. The reporting does not detail the exact legal wording or the full scope of the amendments, but it indicates that the EU intends to both target harmful, sexual deepfake content and adjust aspects of its AI regulatory framework. The agreement is presented as an EU-wide measure, pending final approval.
