UK Ad Regulator Bans AI App Adverts Accused of Objectifying Women
The advertising watchdog says it has 'zero-tolerance' for adverts promoting AI tools that could sexualise or objectify women.
Britain's advertising regulator has banned adverts for artificial intelligence applications that it said promoted the sexualisation or objectification of women, according to a report by BBC Business.
The regulator stated it maintains a "zero-tolerance" approach to advertisements for AI tools that could be used to sexualise or objectify women, the BBC reported.
The ruling forms part of wider scrutiny of how AI-powered products are marketed, as such tools become more widely available to consumers.
The BBC report did not specify further details of the individual advertisements involved or the companies behind them.
EGazette has approached the relevant parties for further comment and will update this report as more information becomes available.
