Legislation

HB347 passed the House. The session ended before the Senate could act.

Rep. Ben Harrison’s bill to hold AI companies accountable for enabling non-consensual intimate imagery cleared the Alabama House with a bipartisan majority in 2026. It did not reach a Senate floor vote before the session adjourned. We are organizing now to pass it in 2027.

What HB347 would do

Under current Alabama law, technology developers enjoy broad immunity when their platforms and tools are used to create or distribute non-consensual intimate imagery — including AI-generated images of real people. That immunity was written for an earlier era of the internet, when platforms were genuinely passive carriers of what users posted.

HB347 would close that gap. It would hold AI companies accountable when they knowingly design and profit from tools whose foreseeable output is the sexual exploitation of real people.

xAI’s platform Grok has already been documented generating criminal imagery of women and minors at a tremendous scale. During just a nine-day period this year, the platform posted 4.4 million images, of which over 40% were sexualized images of women. — Rep. Ben Harrison, Yellowhammer News op-ed
