Bill > SB00208

This bill proposes to amend Connecticut's criminal statutes to create a new criminal offense related to the unauthorized dissemination of synthetic intimate images. Specifically, the bill establishes two levels of criminal charges: if a synthetic intimate image of another person is disseminated to a single individual, it would be classified as a class A misdemeanor, which is a less serious criminal offense. However, if the same synthetic intimate image is disseminated to more than one person through digital platforms such as interactive computer services, information services, or telecommunications services, it would be classified as a more serious class D felony. The bill aims to protect individuals from having their likeness manipulated and distributed without consent in intimate or potentially embarrassing synthetic images, reflecting growing concerns about the misuse of artificial intelligence and digital image manipulation technologies to create and spread harmful or invasive content.
