I would like for the committee to consider the the bill on the table today. So many individuals incarcerated are far removed from the people they were 10, 5 ,20 years ago.

This bill must also include an amendment for rebuttable presumption to allow those deceived by such a synthetic image, who might prove loss of money, property, or defamation of character a remedy for redress and recovery of punitive damages.

Please pass this bill. This is only starts to address the improper use of AI that distorts the truth from fraudulent behavior by citizens and government officials. I hope the General Assembly will go further in future bills to prevent any government official from misrepresenting themselves to citizens. Thank you Delegate Maldonado.

I support this bill, No one should be impersonating anyone other than themselves.

We are in Support of this bill. As generative A.I. is on the rise, and as impersonation online (including through government agents like law enforcement) it is imperative that citizens have recourse to combat abuse to themselves and their reputations. There must be no color of law exception for police either.
