AI Summary
This bill creates a new law in North Dakota that prohibits the creation and distribution of deepfake videos and images without the consent of the person depicted. Specifically, the bill defines a "deepfake" as any digital or AI-generated video, audio recording, image, or photograph that is intentionally altered to depict an individual in a way that did not occur in reality. Under this proposed legislation, anyone who produces, possesses, distributes, promotes, advertises, sells, exhibits, broadcasts, or transmits such a deepfake without the consent of the person shown in the image or video would be committing a class A misdemeanor. The law aims to protect individuals from having their likeness manipulated and potentially used to spread misinformation, cause harm, or create false narratives, reflecting growing concerns about the potential misuse of artificial intelligence and digital image manipulation technologies.
