## Resource

Hawaii just cracked down on deepfakes with new laws letting you sue creators who fake your image or video—up to $25,000 per clip—for reputational damage. As AI fakes spread faster than truth can catch up, the state’s move beats federal action, aiming to stop scams, threats, and identity theft. With 80% of people worried deepfakes mislead or endanger data, education and consent are now critical to harness AI’s power without losing trust.
