TAKE IT DOWN Act Targets Deepfake Harms as AI Education Pushes Forward

In this episode, we explore the landmark TAKE IT DOWN Act, the first federal legislation targeting AI-generated non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII), also known as deepfake content. With sweeping bipartisan support, the bill criminalizes NCII distribution, mandates rapid takedown on social platforms, and strengthens protections for victims. We also dive into President Trump’s new executive order on AI education, detailing initiatives to integrate AI literacy in K-12 schools, launch national competitions, and boost workforce readiness. These moves signal a growing federal response to both the dangers and opportunities of artificial intelligence.
