It's thought law changes are needed to protect everyday Kiwis from the harm of deepfake images.
Artificial AI-generated pornographic images of Taylor Swift have gone viral online.
There are concerns similar fakes could victimise everybody using artificial intelligence.
Digital Harm Expert, Mandy Henk says it's not clear whether people spreading such fakes, could face legal repercussions.
"The Harmful Digital Communications Act does not explicitly call out deepfake images as something you're not allowed to do. the courts haven't yet had an opportunity to test this."
