It is now illegal to create or share deceptive media with artificial intelligence in garden conditions.
After New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy signed the legislation, sharing of deceptive deepfakes is now a crime.
If convicted, a person could be sentenced to a maximum of five years and a fine of $30,000 at the back of the bar. Additionally, civil penalties are part of the law, allowing victims to sue the creator of Deepfark.
According to the law, Deepfark is a video recording, audio recording, or image, depicting what he is doing what he is not doing.
New Jersey is the latest state with laws targeting AI-generated media. Similar laws have been enacted or proposed in about 20 other states.
The law was inspired by the incident in high school student Frances Camani, who was a victim of deepfake videos two years ago.
A fellow student created the video using Mani’s faces pasted on the porn video and 29 other faces.
Students who created Deepfark were given a one-day suspension.
Mani was signing the legislation and said, “This law has left all women and teens fired for nothing happening and just moving forward.”
“Nearly every bad actor can use artificial intelligence at any time to create hyperreal images and videos that can be exploited by children, teenagers and, frankly, anyone,” Murphy said.
