Ofcom pushes platforms to detect AI-generated intimate imagery

The immediate effect is a clearer regulatory push for platforms to improve moderation systems around AI-generated intimate imagery. For streaming and adjacent video services, this raises the bar on how platforms identify and handle harmful synthetic content before it spreads. The broader signal is that Ofcom is steering online safety guidance toward proactive detection rather than reactive removal. What to watch next is whether platforms publish updated moderation policies or technical details tied to AI-generated intimate imagery in response to the guidance.
