As the use of artificial intelligence proliferates across our society, we must protect all Americans – from artists to innocent young children -- from deepfakes and non-consensual voice and image clones that can ruin their careers, deceive friends and families, and traumatize victims. The bipartisan NO FAKES Act is an important step in safeguarding Americans from bad actors who may try to exploit their creativity or generate sexually explicit deepfakes. I’m proud to join my colleagues in introducing this critical piece of legislation to counter AI’s potential threats to Americans’ safety while balancing the need for American innovation.
