Thank you.
The distribution of AI-generated so-called “deepnudes” is already having a negative harassing impact on candidates and on elected officials the world over. To date, Canada's federal government has failed to close a loophole in Canada's laws that prevent the non-consensual distribution of intimate images to include deepnudes.
The Inter-Parliamentary Union, in its 149th general assembly last week, passed a resolution regarding the impact of AI on democracy and human rights and called upon government to take action in this specific regard.
Would you recommend that the government update Canada's Criminal Code sections regarding the non-distribution of intimate images to ensure that it's illegal to distribute highly realistic AI-generated deepnudes without consent?
