The unlawful production or distribution of sexually explicit images or videos using deep fake technology; increasing a criminal penalty

This bill aims to make it illegal to create or share sexually explicit images or videos that have been altered using deep fake technology. It also proposes to increase the criminal penalties for those who engage in such activities.

Supporters of this bill argue that it is a necessary step to protect individuals from the malicious use of deep fake technology, which can be used to create harmful and unauthorized explicit content. By increasing penalties, the bill seeks to deter potential offenders and uphold personal privacy and dignity.

Critics of the bill may argue that it could have unintended consequences, such as stifling technological innovation or leading to over-criminalization. They might also express concerns about the enforceability of the law and potential impacts on free speech.
