 Regulating it is going to be very difficult, especially because all the models capable of doing it are already open-sourced. However, perhaps they can regulate the sharing it online or use of explicit content for malicious purposes. 

We are likely to see extensive discussions around this topic this year, especially as we begin having AI-generated videos. What can one trust after that? It will be used for propaganda, state actors. It's going to be very interesting. 
 Almost all deepfake videos are porn. I think this kills the porn industry, to be honest. 
 Can't they use AI to filter this stuff out? Women could simply ask to have pictures with their likeness flagged. 
 DCMA takedowns, but with AI! 

Lawyers send kisses.

 It’s both. Give the proceeds to the victims of the perpetrators. 
 Would improve endpoint security, for sure! 

(After we hang all the smart toasters and their dimwit owners.)

Probably won't stop the autistic trolls, though. Most of this stuff is cross-border already. 
 Step 1: scan people's homes for exploitable IoT devices

Step 2: contact their exes, rivals, colleagues and neighbours to see who's willing to pay for a SWATing. Accept monero only!

Step 3: use IoT garbage as a proxy server to repost something vile where it will be reported.

Step 4: convert monero to BTC and drink margaritas on the beach in El Salvador 
 Well, that's the next thing, right? Follow her around the internet with your bots posting deepfakes.
