Colorado lawmakers move to outlaw sexually exploitative AI images and video

Colorado’s laws on revenge porn and child sex abuse materials don’t currently include deepfakes. A new bill would change that.

As artificial intelligence expands its reach into more aspects of people’s lives, Colorado lawmakers want to ensure the state’s policies around online harassment and child pornography are keeping pace.

“In a modern world where our identities and our selves exist far beyond our physical bodies and are vulnerable to attack on media, on social media, in text messages… we have to adapt to protect the people in these spaces,” Jessica Dotter, sexual assault resource prosecutor with Colorado’s District Attorneys Council, told the Senate Judiciary Committee earlier this week.
