NY A10260

Requires information content providers that create political communications containing materially deceptive media to disclose such use when they have actual knowledge the communication is deceptive.

Defines "materially deceptive media" as image, video, audio, or text created or modified using artificial intelligence, machine learning, or other computer-generated means that appears authentic to a reasonable person but depicts a scenario that did not occur or was significantly altered.

Mandates visual media disclosures be printed in legible font no smaller than other text reading "This (image, video, or audio) has been manipulated," and audio disclosures be clearly spoken at the beginning or end of the audio.

Exempts satire, parody, bona fide news reporting, platforms republishing third-party content, broadcast stations, and paid broadcasters from disclosure requirements; exempts radio and television stations, cable operators, and streaming services owned by broadcasters licensed by the FCC.

Allows candidates depicted in deceptive media created without their consent to seek injunctive relief, court costs, and attorneys' fees in expedited court proceedings, with plaintiffs bearing the burden of proving deceptive media use by clear and convincing evidence.
