House lawmakers introduced legislation to try to curb the unauthorized use of deepfakes and voice clones.
The legislation, the No AI Fraud Act, is sponsored by Rep. Maria Salazar (R-FL), Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-PA), Rep. Nathaniel Moran (R-TX), Rep. Joe Morelle (D-NY) and Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA). The legislation would give individuals more control over the use of their identifying characteristics.
The bill is a bit of a companion to draft Senate legislation unveiled in October. That proposal would prevent a person from producing or distributing an unauthorized AI-generated replica of an individual to perform in an audiovisual or sound recording without the consent of the individual being replicated.
Mitch Glazier, chairman and CEO of the Recording Industry Association of America, said in a statement that the House legislation “is a necessary step to protect individual rights, preserve and promote the creative arts and ensure the integrity and trustworthiness of generative AI.”
Later on Wednesday, a Senate Judiciary subcommittee plans to hold a hearing on AI and the future of journalism. The hearing comes amid a series of lawsuits, including from The New York Times, over AI companies’ use of copyrighted material in training models.
More to come.
