28/05/2024 - Arizona Regulates Published Digital Impersonation (USA)

argument: Normativa/Regulations - Personal Data Protection Law

According to an article on TCPAWorld, the Arizona Legislature enacted House Bill 2394 on May 21, 2024, to combat digital impersonation, particularly in politics. This legislation targets synthetic media, such as videos or audio, manipulated using AI to impersonate individuals convincingly. The law enables victims to seek legal action if such content is published without consent and if it deceives reasonable viewers. Legal actions include injunctive relief and damages, especially in cases causing significant harm or involving sexual or criminal depictions. The law also exempts service providers from liability and ensures rapid judicial response to mitigate ongoing impersonation damages.
