States across the country are rushing to push through legislation to contain the explosion in deepfake porn amid an artificial intelligence boom.
Lawmakers are feeling the heat after more than 800 experts, celebrities, politicians, and activists signed an open letter demanding legislative action against deepfake technology that ‘poses a huge threat to society’.
There are currently 407 AI related bills being considered across 40 states, nearly half of which address deepfakes, according to software industry group BSA.
