Bill > SB1554

This bill amends the Criminal Code of 2012 to explicitly include artificial intelligence (AI) in the definitions and scope of false personation offenses. The bill provides a detailed technical definition of artificial intelligence as a machine-based system that can make predictions, recommendations, or decisions influencing real or virtual environments, using both machine and human inputs to perceive environments, abstract perceptions into models through automated analysis, and use model inference to formulate options for information or action. By expanding the legal definition of false personation, the bill allows prosecution of AI-enabled impersonation scenarios, such as when an AI system falsely represents itself as a person or organization with the intent to intimidate, threaten, defraud, or obtain a benefit. This legislative update reflects the growing technological capabilities of AI and seeks to ensure that existing criminal statutes can address emerging forms of digital impersonation and fraud that may not have been contemplated when the original law was written.
