Fifty members of the European Parliament have been targeted by deepfake pornography, according to a new report. One in six women in the parliament has been affected.

Politico Europe first reported the findings. The fake sexual images were generated with AI and spread online, targeting sitting politicians.

WIRED found that sexually explicit deepfake sites have targeted more than 100 politicians across Europe. The scale of the abuse is far larger than previously known.

The EU is now preparing a complete ban on some AI applications. Lawmakers say the deepfake campaign shows how AI abuse has entered mainstream politics.

Victims say the images are used to harass and discredit them. The report has renewed calls for platforms to remove non-consensual deepfakes faster.

Anadolu reported one in six women in the European Parliament was targeted. The dev.ua outlet said the EU is preparing a complete ban on some AI applications.
