Newark, NJ (AP) – The creation and sharing of deceived media carried out with artificial intelligence is now a crime in New Jersey and open to prosecution under a new law of the State.
Democratic Governor Phil Murphy signed the legislation on Wednesday of the creation and dissemination of so -called deceptive depth media a crime punishable by a sentence of up to five years in prison, and establishing a basis for prosecution against the perpetrators.
New Jersey joins an increasing list of states to adopt measures that aim for the media created using a generative AI. At least 20 states have adopted similar legislation which targets these media involving elections.
Since last yearAccording to a review of the National Center for children, governors of more than a dozen states have signed laws on the imagery of sexual abuses on children.
The law of the New Jersey flows partly from the history of the student of Westfield High School Francesca Man, who was standing alongside the governor when he signed the bill this week. Mani said that she had become a victim of a Deepfake video two years ago and that she was told that the only punishment for the person who created it was a short suspension because there were no laws against such media.
“Doing nothing is no longer an option,” said Mani, who pressure for the legislation and was recognized by Time last year as an anti-fire activist.
The measure defines a Foke Deep as any video or audio recording or image that seems to a reasonable person to realistically represent someone who does something he has not done.
In addition to the prison period after conviction, the law establishes civil sanctions which would allow the victims to pursue prosecution.
