A bipartisan group of senators introduced the revised No Fakes Act, aiming to outlaw AI-powered impersonation without consent.

A bipartisan group of senators, including Chris Coons (D-Del.) and Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), have introduced the revised No Fakes Act (formerly Nurture Originals, Foster Art, and Keep Entertainment Safe Act), aiming to outlaw AI-powered impersonation without consent. The bill would give individuals the right to prevent their likeness from being used without permission and create a "safe harbor" for online platforms to remove unauthorized replicas after being notified. The updated legislation has garnered support from major performers, actors, and musicians groups, including the Recording Industry Association of America, Motion Picture Association, and the Recording Academy, but has faced opposition from digital rights groups concerned about potential infringement on free speech.
