  The EU is gearing up to  criminalize serious offenses  such as the display of child abuse through AI imagery and deepfakes. The country’s regulatory bodies have been calling it an act that was a long time coming, especially because so many laws continue to spring up as a means of curbing the matter and the rise in tech developments. In the same way, it’s making proposals linked to calling the act of showcasing child abuse through livestreams a criminal offense as well.
