Ban sexual AI chatbots

Open for signatures 25 signatures

What the petition asks

We are concerned about sexual AI chatbots having a catalogue featuring realistic people, which are used for sexual pleasure. We believe there is no way to block children from accessing material on sexual AI chatbots, which can severely damage the way kids think.
We call for the Government to ban sexual AI chatbots to fix this. We are concerned about the possibility of real people, who have uploaded their faces on the internet for mostly wholesome reasons, then being used by sexual AI chatbots in scenarios where you can do anything to them in virtual roleplay. We believe this is wrong and that it is practically the same as using AI to make sexual images of real people.
