An Act prohibiting nudification applications from being offered on online application marketplaces; and prescribing penalties.
This Pennsylvania bill prohibits the development and distribution of artificial intelligence applications that generate realistic images of people in states of nudity or engaged in sexual acts. It specifically targets online app stores, requiring them to remove these prohibited tools within five days after receiving a report and mandating that they provide a public portal for users to submit such notices. The law includes exceptions for general-purpose editing software, tools used for medical or law enforcement purposes, and services designed to detect or block these harmful applications. Violations of the act can result in civil penalties of up to $100,000 for each illegal download of the application.
