Presidential veto incoming in 3…2…
Maybe Senate can mandate all AI chatbot output username, IP address, date and time in a visible watermark.
Here’s a [non-paywalled article](https://thehill.com/policy/technology/5686657-senate-passes-deepfake-bill/) on the subject.
Cool. Good to give victims a legal avenue to sue when they are violated.
However, seems like it should also go hand-in-glove with legislation to hold companies making these tools accountable for not doing more to prevent it in the first place.
Yes, I’m aware you can run some of these models locally outside of any company restrictions, which is where allowing the victims to sue individuals will be helpful. I don’t believe that should absolve the companies from bearing any responsibility at all if their actual platform is being used in this manner, though.
It’s especially indefensible when they don’t prevent it from being used on photos of kids. Looking at you, Elon / Grok.
This is one of the best news I have read so far, legal protection must come fast and early for these technologies before they are abused further.
Having been a victim of this, would very much love this to happen. It’s not gonna tho
looks like it only targets the people,who make it, not the platform so i think that was already possible under revenge porn laws. maybe i missed something though
Cool beans , will it be affordable
As many have said, not likely to happen, but I think there’s a bigger problem with this in that the legal system is expensive and difficult to navigate for the average person. Suing people takes time and money that a lot of victims don’t have.
The easier way to handle this is proactively banning undressing people in images or altering their physical appearance. Prevention is always smarter than trying to repair the damage on the backend.
This is the way. If it’s fake, they lose. If it’s revenge porn, they lose.
What if a victim generates a deep fake and plants it so it’s shared and then sues whoever posted it first?
Edit: Or whoever makes the most money from sharing it
Passed Senate last Congress too. So here’s hoping the House votes it forward this time.
Why aren’t these things established BEFORE companies start pushing out their AI garbage apps to the general public?
Elmo is so fucked if this becomes law
Why not also shut down the platforms enabling this behavior?
Sue who? The AI tool, the person, the website if hosted?
This could have huge implications if done incorrectly
if there are no consequences, this shit will only get worse.
Yes, it would be the end of political memes. Exceptions should be made for people whom choose a profession where privacy should not be expected.
Now make it against the law for anyone to make an AI chat bot of someone without their expressed written consent.
Wow, Congress actually did something useful? A harbinger that 2026 is truly the end of us all
In my country you go to jail
They are probably just gonna give X/Grok an exemption to this because oligarchy
Trump will veto it.
