Texas Legislators Push for Stricter AI Regulations to Combat Deepfake Exploitation

In response to the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and their misuse in creating explicit deepfake content, Texas lawmakers are advocating for more stringent regulations to protect individuals, particularly minors, from AI-generated exploitation. State Representative Mary González has introduced House Bill 581, which aims to impose age verification requirements on AI platforms that generate explicit content. This measure seeks to prevent minors from accessing or being depicted in such material.

The bill by State Representative Mary González holds the AI apps liable for what's being created.
