❌ SB163
Regards AI images, simulated child porn, replica identity fraud
Current Status: In Senate Committee (Judiciary)
Summary
The bill requires AI-generated products to have a watermark, prohibits simulated child pornography, and prohibits identity fraud using a replica of a person's identity. It establishes civil penalties for violations and allows for civil actions by aggrieved parties. The bill also outlines exceptions for certain legitimate uses of materials.
Rationale
The bill imposes regulations on AI-generated content and restricts individual freedoms related to expression and identity, which conflicts with the Libertarian Party's principles of personal liberty and freedom of expression. Both the LP and LPO platforms advocate against government censorship and regulation of communication, making the bill largely opposed to their core tenets.
Risks and Concerns
- Increased government control over digital content
- Potential for overreach in regulating personal expression
- Chilling effect on creativity and innovation in AI technologies
