AI Summary

This bill creates the "Protection from Intimate Deep Fakes Act" in Michigan. It imposes civil liability and criminal penalties for the nonconsensual creation or dissemination of "deep fakes" - realistic digital depictions of a person engaging in sexual conduct that they did not actually participate in. The bill allows individuals to file civil lawsuits against those who create or share such deep fakes, and provides for damages, fines, and injunctive relief. It also establishes criminal misdemeanor and felony offenses for creating or disseminating non-consensual deep fakes, with harsher penalties for certain aggravating factors like financial loss or intent to profit. The bill includes some exceptions, such as for law enforcement, reporting of unlawful conduct, and matters of public interest.
