The bipartisan bill aims to establish a federal framework for protecting individual's voice and likeness, with more AI-related legislation expected soon.
- U.S. House lawmakers introduced the No Artificial Intelligence Fake Replicas And Unauthorized Duplications Act of 2023 (“No AI FRAUD” Act) to regulate the use of AI for cloning voices and likenesses.
- The bill aims to establish a federal framework for protecting one's voice and likeness and lays out First Amendment protections.
