United States of America: Governor signed Bill prohibiting nonconsensual sharing of AI-generated sexual images (HB 1364)

On 5 May 2025, the Governor of Oklahoma signed House Bill 1364 (HB 1364) into law, prohibiting the nonconsensual sharing of AI-generated sexual images. The Bill will enter into force on 1 November 2025. It amends the Oklahoma Law on Obscenity and Child Sexual Abuse Material to cover the dissemination of private sexual images, including those created or altered using artificial intelligence or other technical means. It introduces definitions for “artificial intelligence,” “generative artificial intelligence,” and “artificially generated sexual depiction.” The Bill makes it an offence to share real sexual images without consent where a reasonable expectation of privacy exists, and to share artificially generated depictions with intent or reckless disregard to cause harm. Exceptions apply for lawful criminal investigations, the reporting of unlawful conduct, voluntary public exposure, and other lawful purposes. Penalties range from a misdemeanour to a felony, depending on factors such as intent, material benefit, and frequency.
