SEOUL — South Korean police said on Monday they had launched an investigation into encrypted messaging platform Telegram for allegedly 'abetting' the distribution of so-called deepfake porn, including explicit artificial intelligence (AI)-generated images of teenagers.

Deepfake porn includes explicit content where the faces of individuals are digitally superimposed onto other pornographic images or videos using AI technology.
