Montana Deepfake Law Likely Unconstitutional, Judge Rules
A new Montana “deepfake” law that requires disclaimers on negative political ads created with artificial intelligence (AI) likely violates the First Amendment, a federal judge said in a ruling issued Wednesday.
U.S. District Court Judge Susan Watters in Helena prohibited the state from enforcing the measure against former state lawmaker Dan Bartel and his political action committee, Accountability in State Government, which had sued to strike down the statute.
