The implementation of the TAKE IT DOWN Act is a major victory and an encouraging sign that Congress is taking the harms of unauthorized AI-generated content seriously. It shows that meaningful protections are possible and that platforms can act quickly when people are being exploited online. For the voice acting community, the NO FAKES Act is the critical next step. NAVA strongly supports passing this legislation that gives performers and everyday individuals the ability to protect their voices, likenesses and identities from unauthorized AI replication. As these technologies rapidly evolve, we need clear federal protections that put consent, transparency and human creativity first.
