Full Legal Analysis
HB4762, now Public Act 103-0830, establishes that any agreement involving the use of a digital replica must include a reasonably specific description of its intended uses. This requirement is aimed at preventing the exploitation of individuals' digital likenesses without clear consent. The Act defines 'digital replica' as an electronic representation of an individual's identity created using technology, including artificial intelligence, that appears realistic to a reasonable observer. The bill also addresses collective bargaining agreements, ensuring that the terms covering digital replicas are explicitly included. The Act applies to agreements entered into after its effective date, which is immediate. The bill does not specify penalties for non-compliance but deems non-specific agreements unenforceable.
