Privacy Regulators Warn Generative AI Firms Over Imagery
A global coalition of more than 60 privacy regulators, including the UK ICO and Ireland's DPC, issued a joint statement saying data-protection laws apply to generative AI that produces realistic images. They warned of non-consensual intimate imagery, likeness misuse and harms to children, urged firms to embed privacy safeguards by design, and signaled potential probes and enforcement actions such as those into xAI's Grok.
