Preventing Deepfakes of Intimate Images Act

This bill aims to stop the spread of intimate digital images, including AI-made “deepfakes.” It would prohibit the disclosure of “intimate digital depictions,” creating a new section in federal law focused on this kind of content. The goal is to protect people from the harm caused when private or fake intimate images are shared online or sent to others.

• Who is affected: People targeted by intimate image sharing or deepfakes, and anyone who shares or posts intimate digital depictions of others.
• What changes: A federal prohibition on disclosing intimate digital depictions, including deepfake intimate images, under a new section titled “Intimate digital depictions”.
• When: This is a proposal; it would take effect only if it becomes law.
