Bill overview
This act, the Digital Afterlife Consent and AI Identity Protection Act, aims to regulate the use of a deceased person’s data in creating artificial intelligence simulations. It requires explicit opt-in consent from the user before a digital platform can generate AI simulations after their death or extended inactivity. The bill also establishes a private right of action for individuals or their estates to challenge such uses and imposes penalties for non-compliance, including labeling requirements for AI-generated content and restrictions on commercial exploitation without proper consent.
Key provisions
- Requires explicit opt-in consent from users before AI simulations can be created after death or extended inactivity.
- Establishes a private right of action for individuals or their estates to challenge unauthorized AI simulations.
- Defines ‘post mortem simulation’ as AI-generated content purporting to originate from a deceased individual.
- Mandates clear labeling of AI-generated content to disclose its artificial nature and the AI system's details.
- Grants estate representatives the right to revoke prior consent and request deletion of AI-generated content.
- Prohibits digital platforms from monetizing or commercially exploiting post mortem simulations without separate consent.
- Defines key terms such as ‘artificial intelligence,’ ‘digital platform,’ and ‘synthetic content.’
- Specifies that extended inactivity is defined as a continuous period of no user login or verified interaction for five years.
