Senate Bill 33 aims to enhance legal protections against the unauthorized use of representations depicting nudity, particularly in the context of deep fakes. The bill introduces new definitions and penalties under Wisconsin law, specifically creating a Class I felony for posting or distributing synthetic intimate representations—defined as images generated using technology that depict an identifiable person's likeness in an intimate context—without their consent and with the intent to coerce, harass, or intimidate. This expands the existing law, which already prohibits the capture or distribution of such representations without consent.

Additionally, the bill modifies the classification of offenses related to private representations, making it a Class A misdemeanor to reproduce these representations without the consent of the depicted individual. This change aims to strengthen the legal framework surrounding privacy and consent in the digital age, particularly as technology evolves and the prevalence of deep fakes increases. The bill's provisions reflect a growing recognition of the need to address the misuse of technology in ways that can harm individuals' reputations and personal lives.
