Introduced·2/3/25

Oklahoma SB894 prohibits distribution of deepfakes within 90 days of an election and mandates disclosure for certain media.

Oklahoma SB894 introduces new regulations on artificial intelligence, specifically targeting the creation and distribution of deepfakes within 90 days of an election. It defines "artificial intelligence" and "synthetic media," and prohibits the distribution of deepfakes of candidates or political parties. Candidates can seek legal relief against unauthorized deepfakes. The bill mandates disclosure for deceptive media in certain contexts, such as news broadcasts and publications, and exempts cases where the media's authenticity is already in question or when the media is satire or parody.
