A new bill in Congress seeks to hold social media platforms accountable for the publishing and distribution of nonconsensual AI images containing real faces with fake bodies.Two dueling bills in the Senate could complicate the legislative process.
Cruz's legislation will be formally introduced on Tuesday by a bipartisan group of senators. They will be joined in the Capitol by victims of deepfake porn, including high school students."By creating a level playing field at the federal level and putting the responsibility on websites to have in place procedures to remove these images, our bill will protect and empower all victims of this heinous crime," Cruz said in a statement to CNBC.
