Calls Grow to Punish AI Deepfake Kidnappings Like Real Ones
Original: The penalty for a 'deep fake kidnapping' should be the same as for a real kidnapping. Tell me I'm wrong… > The NO FAKES
A debate is underway over whether AI-generated 'deep fake kidnappings' — scams in which fraudsters use cloned voices or images of family members to fake an abduction and demand ransom — should carry the same penalties as real kidnapping. Commenters are pointing to the proposed NO FAKES Act in the US Congress, which would give people ownership over their identity and likeness, arguing the law is a 'no-brainer' and that penalties for AI-enabled abduction hoaxes should match those for actual kidnappings.
Why now: Concern over AI voice-cloning scams targeting families is fueling support for the NO FAKES Act currently before Congress.
