S 2545 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes Deep Fake Technology Unit in DLPS; appropriates $2 million.

S 2545 creates a Deep Fake Technology Unit within New Jersey's Division of Criminal Justice to help law enforcement, prosecutors, and courts detect and investigate manipulated videos and audio (deep fakes) that appear authentic but depict false events. The unit will provide technical analysis, training, and expert testimony to state and local agencies, while collaborating with private sector and academic partners to share detection methods. It must issue annual reports on its work, deep fake trends, and recommendations for new laws. The bill appropriates $2 million from the state's General Fund to fund the unit's operations.
