Bill > HB05045

This bill proposes to amend Titles 53 and 53a of the general statutes to criminalize the unauthorized creation and distribution of digitally manipulated intimate images, commonly known as "deep fake" pornography. The term "deep fake" refers to synthetic media where a person's likeness is replaced with someone else's using artificial intelligence, often in sexually explicit or compromising contexts. By introducing these legal modifications, the bill aims to protect individuals from having their images non-consensually altered and distributed in pornographic content, which can cause significant personal harm, emotional distress, and potential reputational damage. The legislation recognizes the growing technological capabilities that allow for increasingly sophisticated digital image manipulation and seeks to establish legal consequences for those who create and share such altered intimate images without the consent of the person depicted.
