Sharing some deepfake images in Minnesota could mean up to five years in prison and paying a hefty fine.
Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz signed a bill into law making it a criminal offense to share nonconsensual deepfake sexual images or to share deepfake images to influence an election within 90 days of one.
"It's not that deepfake technology is new; it's been around for a while. It's the availability of it," said State Sen. Erin Maye Quade, who authored the bill."Having it on your smartphone really is new. It used to take a massive production studio and weeks to make an authentic looking deepfake." Sen. Quade says the law targets deepfakes that would widely be believed to be misleading. The specific language in the bill states that it applies to any deepfake,"that is so realistic that a reasonable person would believe it depicts speech or conduct of an individual.
