Comment by Cara Hunter

That this Assembly expresses grave concern at the documented use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to perpetrate online violence against women and girls; condemns the creation and dissemination of non-consensual intimate images, including AI-generated deepfakes, as a serious and escalating form of abuse; notes recent commitments by the UK Government to criminalise such activity; further notes the Department of Justice consultation on comparable proposals in Northern Ireland; and calls on the Minister of Justice to ensure that effective criminal offences, enforcement powers and victim protections are in place no later than those in England and Wales.
