Congress Pushes to Combat AI Deepfakes in Year-End Funding Deal

2024-12-18  Per Henrikson

Known as the Take It Down Act, the legislation seeks to criminalize the distribution of nonconsensual intimate imagery, including content created using artificial intelligence (AI). The bill also mandates that online platforms remove such content within 48 hours of notification. With just days remaining before the government funding deadline, the Take It Down Act stands on the brink of becoming law. Per a statement, its inclusion in the year-end funding deal underscores its importance as a legislative priority.
