Wisconsin Enacts New Law to Combat AI-Generated Non-Consensual Pornography
Wisconsin has enacted a new law, Wisconsin Act 34, to combat a disturbing form of cyber-abuse involving AI-generated sexually explicit images. The law, inspired by the tragic suicide of DC Everest Junior High student Bradyn Bohn, goes into effect this Saturday. It expands existing crimes related to nudity depiction and makes it a misdemeanor to create non-consensual pornography using an AI detector, with harsher penalties for harassment.
The new law was authored by Rep. Brent Jacobson and Sen. Andre Jacque. It targets a growing issue: AI-generated sexual images used without consent. A study by Deeptrace revealed that 96% of such 'deep fake' material is non-consensual pornography, disproportionately affecting women.
In Milwaukee, a former police officer exploited this technology to harass an ex-girlfriend, highlighting the urgent need for such legislation. Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers signed the bill, sending a strong message against this form of abuse.
Wisconsin Act 34 comes into force this weekend, offering protection to Wisconsinites from AI-generated sexual harassment and abuse. The law aims to deter offenders and support victims, ensuring that justice is served in the digital age.
