Google has prohibited users from creating deepfakes on its machine-learning product Colab. The rule change happened between May 14 and May 24, according to archived page screenshots.

Google has quietly banned deepfake projects on its Colaboratory (Colab) service, putting an end to the large-scale utilization of the platform's resources for this purpose.

Aimed at machine learning, education, and data analysis, Google Colab lets you write and execute Python in a browser.

In addition, Simple ML enables users to send AI models to Colab, a cloud-based code editor developed by Google that lends itself to machine learning and data science projects.

On the new site, you can search for Colab-powered machine learning examples, with top-level categories like Images & Video, Sounds & Music, and Text & Language.
