Bottom line: The EU Parliament anchors the ban on synthetic nude image generators in the AI Act, thereby clarifying the limits on the misuse potential of AI systems.
The European Parliament has adopted amendments to the EU AI Act, including a ban on AI systems that generate synthetic nude images without consent. The regulation is part of a revised implementation framework for high-risk applications.
The European Parliament has adopted an expanded version of the EU AI Act that specifically targets cases of misuse. The central element is a ban on AI systems for creating synthetic nude images without explicit consent of the person depicted. This addresses a rapidly growing form of digital violence, particularly against women and children.
For compliance officers and data protection officers, this means a concrete obligation to identify and exclude corresponding AI applications from their deployment portfolio. The new regulatory framework clearly defines which practices below a certain threshold are no longer permissible—regardless of whether technical measures to prevent them exist.
In parallel, Parliament has also adjusted the implementation timelines for risky AI applications. This affects the practical implementation of governance structures, documentation and risk assessments for high-risk scenarios such as biometric systems, credit lending or human resources.
