When AI was used to create explicit deepfake images of Swift, she responded with emotional intelligence: fighting back methodically.

Thanks to the intense reaction, platforms like X shut down searches for Swift's name & promised to monitor for deepfakes.

In the wake of the incident, members of Congress said they hoped it would spark momentum for a new bill criminalizing deepfakes.

Swift leveraged emotional intelligence: pushing back methodically against attacks, letting actions speak louder than emotions.

 There's a risk complaining draws more attention, but Swift avoided that by keeping the focus on the crime rather than her reaction.

If a federal anti-deepfake law passes thanks to this, remember to credit Swift's intelligent, influential response to disturbing AI images.
