Overview
The Digital Dignity Act aims to protect individuals from harm caused by the misuse of digital replicas created using artificial intelligence. It establishes liability for distributing content featuring these replicas if it violates criminal provisions or defamation laws, particularly concerning non-consensual intimate imagery. The bill also requires large online platforms using generative AI tools to implement reporting mechanisms for users to remove infringing content and maintain records related to digital replicas. Finally, it grants city attorneys and the Attorney General the authority to enforce these provisions and seek penalties.
