Two Men Charged Under New Trump Law Targeting AI ‘Deepfakes’

a bill enacted last year by President Donald Trump that imposes tougher penalties for publishing AI-generated deepfakes and “revenge porn. ” The bill had support from both parties and the backing of First Lady Melania Trump.

Under the new law, the men now face up to two years in prison.

In a statement, Joseph Nocella, the U. S. attorney in Brooklyn, said the men had ”used cutting-edge digital technology to create images that degraded and violated” dozens of women.
