U.S. Senator from Tennessee
AI should empower innovation – not give scammers and online predators a free pass to exploit someone's voice and visual likeness without permission. From artists and songwriters to students and everyday Americans, people deserve meaningful protections against deceptive deepfakes and digital impersonation.

AI Verified The quote clearly supports the full statement: it condemns using AI to exploit a person's voice or likeness "without permission" and calls for "meaningful protections against deceptive deepfakes and digital impersonation," which implies support for banning nonconsensual AI impersonation of real people. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 2h ago

Verification History

AI Verified Verified. The provided Salazar House press release dated May 21, 2026 attributes these words to Sen. Marsha Blackburn, and Blackburn’s official Senate press release dated May 20, 2026 contains the same wording. In the official releases, the quote is split by an attribution after the first sentence and continues with a third sentence, but the two sentences you supplied match apart from normal punctuation/apostrophe styling.
