Taylor Swift has been in the headlines for various reasons. Last year she made news for her relationship with notable footballer Travis Kelce after she was seen at various matches of the sportsman. The singer-songwriter also made history with her concert tour called The Eras Tour and the subsequent concert film of the same name.

Swift made headlines earlier this month when sexually explicit AI-generated images of the popstar went viral on the Internet.

Though Taylor Swift did not address the issue as yet, the fans spoke out on the dangers of the technology. X posted a statement without directly addressing the pop star on their account, talking about their safety policy. It said,

“Posting Non-Consensual Nudity (NCN) images is strictly prohibited on X and we have a zero-tolerance policy towards such content. Our teams are actively removing all identified images and taking appropriate actions against the accounts responsible for posting them. We’re closely monitoring the situation to ensure that any further violations are immediately addressed, and the content is removed.

Fans and X users, however, demanded for better policies and fewer steps to ensure violaters were properly reported and removed.

Swifties were not the only ones concerned about Taylor Swift’s explicit images. The issue caught the attention of the White House who were asked what steps were being taken to ensure people were protected from the technology being misused. A representative of ABC News brought up Swift’s example of the harm that AI technology could cause people.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre mentioned that she was aware of the issue and that the White House urged Congress to take suitable legislative actions to ensure protection for the people. She said to ABC News,

“We are alarmed by the reports of the…circulation of images that you just laid out – of false images to be more exact, and it is alarming…we believe they have an important role to play in enforcing [social media companies’] own rules to prevent the spread of misinformation, and non-consensual, intimate imagery of real people.”
