Deep fake video

A video created with the intent to deceive that appears to depict a real person performing an action that did not occur in reality; the statutory definition targets intentionally deceptive synthetic media used to portray a person in sexually explicit situations without consent.

As defined by Texas SB 751, a deepfake video is content created with the explicit intent to deceive, which falsely appears to show a real individual engaging in an action or statement that did not happen in reality. This definition is crucial for distinguishing malicious fabrications from other forms of altered media.
