What to Watch for With Generative AI Liability in Louisiana

  • Possession itself can be the alleged offense

    Louisiana § 14:73.15 is not limited to publishing or selling. It covers possession of an AI-created still or video depicting a recognizable person under 17 who is totally nude or undressed to expose specified body areas, when the possessor knows or has reason to know they are not authorized to possess it. Review moderation, storage, escalation, and deletion controls for user uploads and generated outputs, then ask whether the policy addresses defense of possession allegations. 1

  • Disclosure claims have separate privacy and intent elements

    Under § 14:283.2, the state offense requires an identifiable image showing intimate parts or sexual conduct, acquisition through unauthorized access or circumstances indicating privacy, lack of consent, and knowledge or reason to know of likely harassment or emotional distress. The cited statute does not say every synthetic likeness meets those elements; document how a complained-of image was generated, obtained, shared, and labeled. 2

  • The statutory service-provider provision is narrow

    Section 14:283.2 says it does not impose liability on an interactive computer, information, or telecommunications service for content provided by another person. That clause is tied to this offense and third-party content; it does not resolve every state-law claim or the liability of a service that creates or materially changes an image. Separate hosting, generation, moderation, and distribution roles in the application materials. 2
