Comment by María Elvira Salazar

Today's unanimous vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee is a major step forward for Americans who deserve to know that their image, voice, and likeness cannot be stolen or used without their permission. AI is moving fast, and that is exciting. But no one should have to worry that their face or voice can be copied, manipulated, or used to deceive others. The NO FAKES Act is simple. Your identity belongs to you. I introduced this bill in the House because Americans deserve protections that match the technology of our time, and I am proud to lead this effort alongside Senators Blackburn and Coons. I look forward to seeing this bipartisan bill signed into law so every American can have confidence that who they are and how they are represented remains in their own hands.
