Preventing Deepfake Images Act

Preventing Deepfake Images Act
active

Creates a civil cause of action and a crime for intentionally disclosing a sexually explicit or intimate digital depiction of an identifiable person, created or altered by digital manipulation including AI deepfakes, without the person's consent. Consent to creation is not consent to disclosure, valid consent must be a signed plain-language agreement, and a disclaimer that the image is fake is not a defense.
