Summary
The proliferation of AI technology has led to a surge in non-consensual intimate deepfakes, predominantly impacting women and children, who face emotional distress and reputational harm. In response, state legislatures across the U.S. are actively proposing and passing bills to regulate these malicious creations, with a comprehensive tracker monitoring the status of legislation across states. Some states, like Alabama, have made significant strides, while others, such as Arizona and California, have also progressed. However, many proposed bills have not passed, raising concerns about inadequate federal support and cybersecurity resources to effectively tackle the issue.
