AI Policy Overview

Georgia lawmakers have yet to prioritize artificial intelligence policies broadly. However, Georgia was quick to take action with regard to sexual deepfakes, and in 2021 enacted a law making it a felony to knowingly transmit a sexually explicit deepfake image or video without the consent of the depicted person.

Deepfakes

Georgia enacted a law (GA SB 78) in 2021 making it a felony to knowingly transmit, without the consent of the depicted person, "a photograph  or video which depicts nudity or sexually explicit conduct of an adult, including a falsely created videographic or still image, when the transmission or post is harassment or causes financial loss to the depicted person, and serves no legitimate purpose to the depicted  person."
