Identity Protection Modifications

Summary

The legislation updates Utah’s libel and slander statutes to treat content created with generative AI, computer animation, or digital manipulation the same as traditional media. It requires a written notice to the publisher before a defamation suit and caps damages if the content is removed within ten days. It also gives individuals exclusive control over the use of their personal identity, including AI‑generated likenesses, and defines new abuses such as unauthorized distribution of identity‑replication tools.
