Relating to the unlawful production or distribution of sexually explicit images or videos using deep fake technology; increasing a criminal penalty.
HB 1092 makes it illegal to knowingly produce or distribute deep fake images or videos depicting real people engaging in sexual conduct without their consent, specifically targeting non-consensual sexually explicit content created using AI. It defines "deep fake" as content designed to deceive viewers into believing it shows a real person doing something they did not actually do. The bill increases penalties: most violations become a Class A misdemeanor, but using a deep fake involving a child under 14 years old elevates the offense to a state jail felony. This law directly affects individuals who create or share such deceptive content, particularly when minors are involved. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025.
