I’ve been following this space pretty closely because I work with digital content security, and the pace you're describing is exactly what makes regulation messy. Policies tend to lag behind innovation, and by the time a draft law appears, new models are already circulating. I was recently examining how different tools operate, including the one described here: Deepsukebe AI— and what struck me is how accessible and user-friendly these systems have become. When something that used to require a workstation and coding knowledge becomes a few clicks on a browser, lawmakers start paying attention.

But from what I’ve seen, stronger regulations will likely appear only after more public incidents force the issue. Most governments won’t proactively build frameworks until they have a concrete example they can point to, something that makes headlines. I think we’re going to see a mix: technical audits for platforms that host such tools, clearer criminal liability for malicious use, maybe even certification systems for AI-generated media. It’ll take time though, because each country has its own digital policies and political priorities, and the “free expression vs. safety” debate isn’t easy to balance. Still, the trend is definitely toward more scrutiny.
