What Generative AI Liability Insurance Requirements Apply in Georgia?

Georgia amended O.C.G.A. § 16-11-90 in 2020 to include falsely created still or video images in provisions addressing transmission of nonconsensual nude or sexually explicit depictions. The offense has specified knowledge, consent, content, and distribution elements, and Georgia’s legislature described the amendment as expanding the criminal prohibition rather than creating a general civil AI-liability rule. Separately, the Fair Business Practices Act makes unfair or deceptive acts in consumer transactions unlawful, which may matter when a generative-AI service is marketed to Georgia consumers.

What Is Generative AI Liability Insurance?

Generative AI liability can help pay covered defense costs and losses when someone claims your AI use caused harm, including infringement or data disclosure. If you use or sell AI outputs, check how the policy fits your role and existing liability coverage. Read the national Generative AI liability guide.

What to Watch for With Generative AI Liability in Georgia

Synthetic images are expressly within a narrow transmission offense
Georgia’s 2020 amendment to § 16-11-90 added falsely created videographic or still images to the prohibition on transmitting specified nude or sexually explicit images of another person without consent. The law is about covered sexual imagery and its transmission; it does not turn every synthetic depiction, model output, or inaccurate statement into this offense. Classify the content and distribution path when presenting a claim. ¹
Knowledge and consent facts matter
The amended provision focuses on knowingly transmitting images depicting another person in a state of nudity or sexually explicit conduct without that person’s consent and under the statute’s other specified conditions. Keep consent and provenance records for source images, model inputs, generated variants, and each downstream recipient; a policy inquiry should distinguish an allegation against the creator from one against a host or distributor. ¹
This Georgia law defines a specific criminal claim
The cited rule is a criminal prohibition tied to knowingly transmitting or causing transmission of specified nonconsensual nude or sexually explicit depictions under the statutory conditions. Do not infer from that narrow provision that every AI content claim is criminal or that other civil claims are unavailable; assess other claims and defense needs separately. ¹
Consumer-facing AI claims have a separate Georgia rule
O.C.G.A. § 10-1-393 declares unfair or deceptive acts in consumer transactions unlawful. For a service sold to Georgia consumers, review claims about generated content, provenance, accuracy, or safeguards against what the product actually does; this consumer-marketing rule is separate from the narrow nonconsensual-image offense and does not itself make every AI error deceptive. ²

Which Generative AI Liability Providers Have Georgia License Records?

No provider in our research documents both a state license record and this coverage line. This does not establish that providers are unlicensed. Check the regulator’s license lookup and confirm availability with a provider when requesting a quote.

Georgia charges 4% on the total premium written and received by a surplus-lines broker when Georgia is the insured’s home state. Current fee treatment is not described here because the Department’s latest fee bulletin could not be retrieved as readable text; ask your broker for the policy-declaration and tax breakdown. This record does not state a Georgia-specific guaranty-fund conclusion.

Questions to Ask Before You Buy Generative AI Liability in Georgia

Can the product generate or transmit a falsely created nude or sexually explicit depiction of an identifiable person, and who controls publication?

Generative AI Liability Insurance in Georgia: FAQ

Does Georgia’s law criminalize every deepfake?

No. The amendment includes falsely created images in a specific offense involving transmission of nonconsensual images depicting nudity or sexually explicit conduct under defined circumstances. ¹

What kind of liability does O.C.G.A. § 16-11-90 describe?

The provision defines a criminal offense involving specified electronic transmission of nonconsensual nude or sexually explicit images under its listed conditions; this draft does not treat it as a general civil cause of action for all AI content. ¹

Does Georgia have a separate rule for consumer-facing product claims?

Yes. The Fair Business Practices Act addresses unfair or deceptive practices in consumer transactions. Marketing claims should be assessed on their own facts, apart from the statute covering specified intimate-image transmissions. ²
