AI fraud bill seeks to criminalize deepfakes of federal officials
NBC News
Two lawmakers are looking to crack down on fraudsters' increasing use of artificial intelligence in a bipartisan proposal Tuesday that seeks to expand penalties for AI scams and criminalize impersonating federal officials using AI.
The AI Fraud Deterrence Act, proposed by Reps. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., and Neal Dunn, R-Fla., would update criminal definitions and penalties for fraud to account for the rise of AI.
“As AI technology advances at a rapid pace, our laws must keep up,” Dunn said in a statement announcing the bill.
“The AI Fraud Deterrence Act strengthens penalties for crimes related to fraud committed with the help of AI. I am proud to co-lead this legislation to protect the identities of the public and prevent misuse of this innovative technology,” Dunn said.
