Deep Fake

Audio or visual media that have been digitally created, altered, or synthesized such that the result would falsely appear to a reasonable person to be an authentic recording of an actual event, excluding only minor modifications (e.g., brightness/contrast adjustments or background noise removal).

Digitally generated or altered audiovisual material (often produced using generative AI techniques) that fabricates or modifies a person's appearance, voice, or actions such that the resulting recording would reasonably be perceived as authentic; treated by the statute as a form of materially deceptive content when used to mislead voters.

Synthetic or manipulated audio, image, or video content produced using artificial intelligence that depicts events, statements, or scenarios that did not occur, with particular emphasis on content intended to deceive viewers about its authenticity. AB 2885 directs an evaluation of deepfake impacts on government operations, businesses, and residents.

An image, video, audio, or multimedia AI-generated content that falsely appears to be authentic or truthful and which features a depiction of an individual appearing to say or do something the individual did not say or do; the presence of a deepfake triggers mandatory disclosure and potential prohibitions under the Act.

Any image, audio and/or video content fabricated or manipulated—typically via AI, VR or AR—so as to create the appearance that a person said or did things they did not in reality say or do, particularly where consent is absent.

Any form of media (images, audio, or video) that falsely depicts a person's speech, conduct, appearance, or participation in events through the use of artificial intelligence, machine learning algorithms, or generative AI systems, producing realistic but inauthentic representations intended to appear genuine.

A subtype of synthetic content characterized by high-fidelity AI-generated or AI-manipulated audio or visual media that depicts a real, identifiable person and is capable of realistically representing that person’s likeness, voice, or actions in a manner that can be used to mislead or harm.
