Establishes the "AI-Generated Content Accountability and Privacy Protection Act of 2026"
HB 2321, the "AI-Generated Content Accountability and Privacy Protection Act of 2026," would require explicit written consent before publishing AI-generated content that alters a person's appearance, voice, or likeness. Violations could result in fines up to $110,000 or up to five years in prison, with higher penalties for sexual or pornographic content without consent. The law exempts artistic, educational, or research content if clearly labeled as AI-generated, and platforms hosting such content face increased fines. It also mandates privacy safeguards for verification systems, prohibiting third parties from retaining or selling biometric data. The Attorney General must report on the law's effectiveness by August 2028.
