Creating and sharing deepfakes through tools such as OpenAI is now a crime in New Jersey—punishable by up to 5 years in prison

Quick Summary:

Phil Murphy signed legislation making the creation and dissemination of so-called deceptive deepfake media a crime punishable by up to five years in prison.

In addition to prison time upon conviction, the law establishes civil penalties that would permit victims to pursue lawsuits.

At least 20 states have passed similar legislation that targets such media involving elections.
