The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 1143, aims to address the issue of intimate images generated using artificial intelligence (AI) without the consent of the individuals depicted. It seeks to amend section 53a-189c of the general statutes to prohibit the creation and dissemination of such images, while also establishing criminal penalties for violations. Additionally, the bill proposes amendments to title 52 of the general statutes to provide civil remedies for victims affected by these violations.
Furthermore, the bill includes provisions to define key terms such as "deepfake technology" and "intimate image" to ensure effective enforcement of the proposed criminal penalties and civil remedies. The overall purpose of the legislation is to protect individuals from the unauthorized production and distribution of AI-generated intimate images, thereby safeguarding their privacy and personal rights.
