Today, US House Representatives María Elvira Salazar (R-FL-27),Madeleine Dean (D-PA-4), Nathaniel Moran (R-TX-1), Joe Morelle (D-NY-25), Rob Wittman (R-VA-1) and Adam Schiff (D-CA-30) introduced the NO FAKES Act (Nurture Originals, Foster Art, and Keep Entertainment Safe) to the House. The NO FAKES Act would create a federal intellectual property right to an individual’s visual likeness and voice – accelerating the push for protection against invasive AI deepfakes, voice clones and other nonconsensual digital replicas – while also establishing a system of accountability and enforcement.
In conjunction with the Human Artistry Campaign, A2IM voices its support for the proposed bill, and has issued the following statement:
“We simply can’t accept a world where artists spend lifetimes developing their art only to have Generative AI exploit their work. The NO FAKES Act would be a powerful tool to not only help our community of over 550 independent labels continue to drive economic activity in this new era, but also to protect music’s unique role in American culture. We thank this strong bipartisan group of House champions who are fighting for us with this bill.”
– Lisa Hresko, A2IM General Manager
