Texas Rep. Mary González (D) has prefiled a package of bills for next year’s session targeting minors’ access to artificial intelligence-generated sexually explicit images and videos. The state has already passed legislation dealing with nonconsensual pornographic deepfakes, but these measures would go further, placing requirements on AI image generators.
One of the bills (HB 581) would require AI image-generating sites to verify the age of users and ensure that individuals depicted in uploaded images are at least 18 and have given their consent, as well as prohibit explicit images of minors. Other bills would allow individuals to sue deepfake generator sites for unauthorized use of their image (HB 421) and update the state’s existing ban on nonconsensual explicit deepfakes to include still images (HB 449).

States are offering generous incentive packages to try to attract new data centers and the tax revenues and high-tech jobs they provide. But data centers place huge demands on already strained power grids at the same time that many states are trying to meet 100% renewable energy goals. Lawmakers may start combining incentives with provisions to bolster the energy supply. (PLURIBUS NEWS).
