Taylor Swift Act Would Allow Damages For A.I. Deep Fakes

A Missouri House bill designed to combat deepfake AI images has been introduced. The so-called “Taylor Swift Act” would allow individuals to sue and seek criminal charges against anyone who shares an image altered by artificial intelligence without that individual’s permission. The bill’s sponsor, state Representative Adam Schwadron of St. Charles, named the legislation after Taylor Swift, who fell victim to manipulated photos of her that were widely viewed online…

Under the bill, the first offense would be a class E felony. Similar legislation received initial approval from the House last week.
