Deepfakes and the Law: Survey the rapidly evolving federal and state legal landscape in 2025. Explore current laws, proposed legislation, and constitutional conflicts.
This program provides a complete overview of deepfakes — what they are and how they work — existing legal regimes to combat deepfakes, and then looks at the important state and federal legislation pending to combat deepfakes in the sexual context, as well as fake political speech.
Looking at existing case law from the analog pre-deepfake age to myriad examples of deepfake uses — from fake President Biden robocalls to Vice President Harris and deepfake political satire — the program will arm you to protect clients who may be hurt online by deepfakes, but also issues that confront businesses as they seek to avoid liability for others’ posting of deepfakes on online platforms.
The program also looks at seminal case law intersecting First Amendment expression rights with deepfake-publicity violation issues.
