AI-Created Explicit Deepfakes Target One in Six Female Congress Members
According to a study by the American Sunlight Project (ASP), over 25 members of Congress have become targets of malicious deepfake videos, with the vast majority being women. The research identified more than 35,000 instances of nonconsensual intimate imagery (NCII) depicting 26 members of Congress—25 women and one man—on deepfake websites. Most of this content was quickly removed after researchers notified the affected lawmakers.
