AI Summary
This bill updates the Uniform Civil Remedies for Unauthorized Disclosure of Intimate Images Act to explicitly include computer-generated or digitally manipulated images within its scope of protection. The legislation expands the definitions of "depicted individual" and "private" to cover images created through digital means without the subject's consent, such as AI-generated or deepfake images. Specifically, the bill adds computer-generated or digitally manipulated images to the categories of intimate images that can be grounds for legal action if they are created or shared without the depicted individual's consent. The bill maintains existing provisions that allow individuals to seek legal recourse for harm caused by unauthorized disclosure of intimate images, but now explicitly extends these protections to synthetic or artificially created images that can be used to harass, embarrass, or cause emotional distress. Key changes include adding computer generation and digital manipulation to the definitions of how an intimate image can be created and establishing that such images can be considered "private" if they are made without the subject's consent, thereby giving individuals legal grounds to pursue action against those who create or share such images without permission.
