Mid-Hudson News reports that Gov. Kathy Hochul signed the bill from Hudson Valley-based state Senator Michelle Hinchey making it illegal to disseminate deepfake porn images. Hinchey said, “What our bill does it now makes it illegal for someone to intentionally disseminate fake explicit images, otherwise known as deepfake, without someone’s consent.” So-called "revenge porn" images have been banned in New York since 2019, and this bill expands that law to include images created by artificial intelligence. The new law includes a year in jail and a $1,000 fine, with the victims allowed to pursue additional legal action against the perpetrators. Read more about this story at Mid-Hudson News.
