Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn, along with three other U.S. senators, drafted a bill that would protect the voice and likeness of individuals from replicas generated by Artificial Intelligence.
The group released a discussion draft of their Nurture Originals, Foster Art, and Keep Entertainment Safe (NO FAKES) Act Thursday.
According to a release from Sen. Blackburn's office, the 'NO FAKES Act' 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.
The draft bill states the person creating or sharing the unauthorized replication would be liable for the damages caused by the AI-generated fake.
There are exclusions if the representation of an individual in works are protected by the First Amendment, such as sports broadcasts, documentaries, biographical works, or for purposes of comment, criticism, or parody among others.
The group of senators says with the rapid advance of generative AI, creators have already begun to see their voices and likenesses used without their consent in videos and songs.
The discussion draft can be viewed in its entirety below:
