Comment by Darren Soto
U.S. Representative (D-FL), Florida's 9th Congressional District
As AI rapidly evolves, it is critical for us to ensure that the technology isn't being misused to cause harm. We've unfortunately seen cases where it is used to create realistic impersonations of real people. I'm proud to join this bipartisan legislation to set guardrails and prevent these deceptive practices from taking place.AI Verified source (2026)

The quote clearly supports legislation to stop AI-generated impersonations of real people, calling them harmful and deceptive and saying the author is "proud to join this bipartisan legislation" to "prevent these deceptive practices." That establishes support for banning AI impersonation of real individuals without consent.

ai_verified: The quote is authentic and correctly attributed to Rep. Darren Soto. The official Buchanan press release dated March 4, 2026 (the provided URL redirects to the dated page) contains the same wording attributed to Soto, and Sen. Tim Sheehy’s official March 4, 2026 press release reproduces it as one continuous three-sentence quote ending 'prevent these deceptive practices from taking place,' said Congressman Darren Soto.

Checked author attribution, year, relevance, vote alignment, and source. The buchanan.house.gov source_url returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but web search confirmed the quote verbatim from that exact official press release (AI Fraud Accountability Act, March 2026): Rep. Darren Soto said "As AI rapidly evolves, it is critical for us to ensure that the technology isn't being misused to cause harm. We've unfortunately seen cases where it is used to create realistic impersonations of real people. I'm proud to join this bipartisan legislation to set guardrails and prevent these deceptive practices from taking place." Attribution to Darren Soto (D-FL) is correct; year 2026 is current and relevant. Vote "for" the statement "Ban AI impersonation of real individuals without their consent" aligns with his co-sponsorship of legislation to prohibit AI-enabled impersonation. Source is the primary official congressional press release.
