Washington – The Computer & Communications Industry Association testified against a Georgia bill that would hold online companies responsible for bad actors using artificial intelligence to generate phony material. CCIA said that HB 566 raises constitutional concerns, and conflicts with existing state and federal law.
The following can be attributed to Tom Mann, CCIA’s State Policy Manager:
“We understand the goal of ensuring computer-generated content or automated tools like artificial intelligence are not used for nefarious purposes. Even so, it is impossible for the developers or deployers to predict how each and every individual may use generated material. Legislation should hold bad actors accountable when they knowingly and intentionally exploit a person’s likeness without permission – not intermediaries.”
