"Advocating for Federal Regulations: Combatting AI-Generated Explicit Content"
A bipartisan bill introduced by Rep. Joe Morelle aims to criminalize the nonconsensual sharing of sexually explicit deepfakes at the federal level, with a focus on protecting victims' rights. Teen victim Francesca Mani and Rep. Tom Kean are advocating for legislative action, highlighting the urgent need for laws to address the growing issue of deepfake creation and distribution, which has impacted numerous individuals. The lack of federal legislation has raised concerns about the potential impact of deepfakes on the 2024 election cycle.
