An Act relating to defamation claims based on the use of deepfakes; and relating to the use of deepfakes in electioneering communications.

This Alaska bill establishes civil liability for defamation claims arising from the use of synthetic media, such as deepfakes, and specifically prohibits their use in electioneering communications. It allows harmed individuals to sue creators, disseminators, or those who remove required warnings for damages and attorney fees, while also permitting courts to issue injunctions to stop the publication of such content. To protect free speech, the law includes a defense for content that clearly discloses it has been manipulated or is satire or parody, and it shields internet service providers and broadcasters from liability unless they actively remove these disclosures.
