Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for Monday, January 19th.

We're starting this Monday with a significant development in state technology policy. New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez and State Representative Linda Serrato announced sweeping legislation to protect residents from artificial intelligence deepfakes. The Artificial Intelligence Accountability Act will be voted on when the legislative session begins tomorrow, January 20th. The bill requires AI platforms and social media companies to embed digital signatures into images so law enforcement can trace illegal content back to its source. Companies found out of compliance face fines up to fifteen thousand dollars per day. The legislation also allows victims to sue perpetrators for damages or one thousand dollars per impression, meaning a deepfake that goes viral could result in substantial penalties. Torrez emphasized this is about accountability and protection, noting that while AI is transforming daily life, it can be easily misused to create devastating content. This announcement follows a troubling case where a man was arrested for creating AI-generated child sexual abuse material using publicly available photos of children. Torrez said this represents a turning point that should serve as a wake-up call to policymakers, community leaders, and educators.

On a lighter note, if you're looking to get out and explore Santa Fe today, there's plenty happening. The Amazing Scavenger Hunt Adventure is taking place at the State Visitor Center if you're in the mood for an interactive adventure. And those interested in cultural experiences can check out several ongoing exhibitions around town, including Indigenous Freeways at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center, showcasing Southwest Wildstyle art.

Coming up this week, residents should mark their calendars for February 4th when the annual Lincoln County Day legislative reception takes place here in Santa Fe. While the thirty-day legislative session is usually focused on budgetary matters, Democratic lawmakers say they'll use it to advance social justice initiatives.

For anyone interested in year-round activities, the Santa Fe Botanical Garden continues its distillery tours, and various workshops including three-dimensional hummingbird and succulent classes are running through the spring at local art studios.
