UK lawmakers are looking to <a href="https://coingape.com/us-uk-16-nations-unveil-guidelines-for-secure-ai-development/">explore strategies</a> in the form of AI regulation that would tackle the growing problem of Deepfakes. 
<h2 id="strong-uk-labour-party-moves-to-ban-censored-tools-strong">UK Labour Party Moves To Ban Censored Tools</h2> 
The Labour Party has its focus on banning artificial intelligence tools that promote nudity and generate nonconsensual pornography. Consequently, the left-leaning think-tank Labour Together has come up with a policy paper that proposes legislation that designates the use of these nudification tools as a criminal offense.&nbsp; 
If eventually implemented, the act of generating explicit contents with real images of individuals, will be punishable. Popular popstar Taylor Swift was recently a victim to these AI Deepfakes. Some Deepfake but yet convincing <a href="https://coingape.com/taylor-swifts-deepfake-photos-sparks-new-call-for-ai-regulation/">explicit photos of her showed up on the internet</a> in January and it caused a lot of rancor, further compelling the authorities in the United States to look into the subject of AI regulation.&nbsp; 
In the proposed policy paper from the Labour Party, there is a suggestion to insist that developers of AI tools and web hosting companies take caution to ensure that no harmful Deepfakes are produced under their watch. This proposal is coming as a strategy to mitigate spread of AI-generated content that will cause harm or misinformation to people, brands and organizations.

The rate at which Artificial Intelligence is diversifying and spreading underscores the need for AI regulation.&nbsp; 
With several AI tools launching on a regular basis, there are <a href="https://coingape.com/ai-safety-is-becoming-a-concern-as-showcased-by-a-new-research/">growing concerns about the harm</a> that these models are capable of inflicting. New tech startup <a href="https://coingape.com/ai-news-cognition-labs-unleashes-devin-worlds-first-ai-software-engineer/">Cognition Labs unleashed a “state-of-the-art” tool</a> which also doubles as a first-of-its-kind AI model.&nbsp; 
The tool which is dubbed Devin is able to perform autonomous coding and also fine-tune its AI models. This marks a revolution for coding but while these AI tools are beneficial, it is worth acknowledging that they can also be used to perpetrate unsavory acts, hence the need for AI regulation.&nbsp; 
Noteworthy, the UK has been working on having a robust AI regulatory framework for a while. This includes <a href="https://coingape.com/uk-government-outlines-flexible-approach-to-ai-regulation/">committing £100 million to this AI framework</a> in a bid to secure a safe yet progressive innovative environment.&nbsp; 
Ultimately, the goal of the government is to ensure that every citizen is safe and their rights are not infringed on, whether through AI or other means.
