U.S. Vice President JD Vance has agreed that sexualized AI images on social media are "entirely unacceptable." This statement followed a meeting with UK Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy.
Lammy told the Guardian that Vance, known as an AI enthusiast, was "sympathetic" to concerns about AI-generated pornography. The vice president specifically criticized platforms like X for allowing such content.
Vance expressed worry about the technology creating a "hyper-pornographied slop" online. The discussion focused on AI-made images of women and children.
The two politicians met in Washington on Thursday. Lammy shared details of their conversation exclusively with the Guardian.
