Bill overview
House Bill 4047 creates a new legal framework to address the misuse of deepfake technology, specifically focusing on nonconsensual creation and dissemination of sexually explicit images. The bill establishes civil and criminal penalties for individuals who create or share these deepfakes, particularly if they depict intimate body parts or sexual acts of identifiable individuals. It also outlines remedies for victims, including financial damages and court orders to prevent further harm, while providing defenses related to legitimate uses like law enforcement investigations or public interest reporting.
