MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — A bill at the Capitol would criminalize deep-fake pornography.
The proposal would make using AI to turn someone’s visual image into a naked photo or sex video a felony. Bill co-sponsor Republican Senator Andre Jacque, addressed an Assembly committee hearing on Wednesday.
“Somebody could do a deep fake of any of us in this room, and that it’s not illegal right now, that’s mind blowing to some folks,” Jacque said.
Proponents of the bill say deep-fake images used to harass and intimidate others could escalate as the use of AI increases. Jacque says 32 other states already have laws similar to what the measure advocates.
