UK privacy watchdog warns over AI-generated images in joint statement

Britain's ​privacy ​watchdog published a joint ​statement with dozens of international authorities on Monday, ‌setting ⁠out ⁠concerns over images ​generated by artificial intelligence which ​depict identifiable individuals without their consent.

"We call ​on organisations ⁠to engage ‌proactively ​with ​regulators, implement robust ⁠safeguards from the outset, and ​ensure that technological ​advancement does not come at the expense of privacy, dignity, safety," ‌the statement published by the Information ​Commissioner's Office ​said.

The ⁠signatories are especially concerned about potential harms to children, ​the ICO added.
