Meta’s policies on non-consensual deepfake images need updating, including wording that is “not sufficiently clear”, a company panel said in a decision on cases involving AI-generated explicit depictions of two famous women.

The quasi-independent Oversight Board said that in one of the cases, the social media giant failed to take down the deepfake intimate image of a famous Indian woman, whom it did not identify, until the company’s review board became involved.
