Concerning preventing certain disclosures of intimate depictions, and, in connection therewith, creating a cause of action for nonconsensual disclosure of an intimate digital depiction and adding and amending related provisions in criminal law.

In one paragraph

Colorado SB 25-288 enacts the Preventing Unauthorized Disclosure of Intimate Digital Depictions Act. A digital depiction is a highly realistic image falsely appearing authentic that was created, altered or produced by generative AI, image editing software or computer-generated means. A person who discloses or threatens to disclose an intimate digital depiction without signed consent can be sued for actual damages or $150,000, exemplary damages, fees and injunctions; a disclaimer is no defense. It also extends sexual exploitation of a child to realistic computer-generated depictions of an identifiable child and updates the private-image offenses.
