CRIME/PUNISHMENT: Creates the crime of unlawful dissemination or sale of images of another created by artificial intelligence. (8/1/24) (EN SEE FISC NOTE LF EX)

This bill creates a new crime prohibiting the unauthorized distribution or sale of artificial intelligence-generated digital voice replicas or depictions of individuals. It directly affects anyone who knowingly uses AI technology to clone a person's voice or likeness without their consent, as well as entities that facilitate such actions. The law grants individuals exclusive property rights over their digital voice and likeness that survive their death for ten years, while also establishing specific defenses based on First Amendment protections and exceptions for certain broadcast stations.
