I think giving the law serious teeth in deepfakes will solve some of the problem, like with blatant copyright violation that is straight up fraud and theft. Those laws exist and function. It’s not brazen theft if we are being nuanced and honest. I think if we charge deepfake tech designed and used for fraud as fraudulent activity in the same way, we would be able to stunt adverse development or usages of these tools. So I for one am happy about this article and think they’re going in the right direction. Penalize fraud as fraud. It’s still fraudulent activity.
