Pennsylvania Senate Approves Deepfake Regulation Bill
June 14, 2024
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been used to create computer-generated images, known as deepfakes, that appear real. These images have been used to victimize celebrities, including Taylor Swift, without their consent. The Pennsylvania state Senate has approved legislation aimed at outlawing the distribution of salacious or pornographic deepfakes, with a focus on preventing harassment and exploitation. The bill would make it a crime to distribute a deepfake image of someone without their consent, with more severe penalties if the victim is a minor. This development highlights the growing concern over AI-generated content and its potential misuse.
