Bill > HB05599

This bill aims to modify existing state statutes to prohibit the creation and dissemination of synthetic intimate images (digitally manipulated or artificially generated nude or sexually explicit images) without the consent of the person depicted, as well as simulated child pornography. The bill seeks to address emerging technological concerns related to non-consensual digital imagery, particularly those created using artificial intelligence or other digital manipulation techniques. By criminalizing the creation and sharing of such synthetic images without consent, the legislation intends to protect individuals from potential harm, privacy violations, and emotional distress that can result from the unauthorized use of their likeness in sexually explicit or intimate digital content. The bill appears to be a response to growing challenges posed by advanced digital technologies that can create highly realistic yet completely fabricated images that could be used to harass, embarrass, or exploit individuals.
