A group of sex workers, filmmakers, educators, and tech enterprises are calling on the European Commission to include their perspectives in AI regulation discussions. They argue that current strategies risk overregulating an already marginalized community and failing to address the dangers of nonconsensual deepfakes.

A group of sex industry professionals and advocates issued an open letter to EU regulators on Thursday, claiming that their views are being overlooked in vital discussions on policing AI technology despite also being implicated in AI’s momentous rise.

“We are facing discrimination, and if regulators are trying to protect the rights of people, it would be nice if they could protect the digital rights of everyone.” The industry is also already at a disadvantage in utilizing AI, adds Ornelas. Major generative AI platforms generally do not allow NSFW content, as part of controls for moderating what is widely termed inappropriate content.
