The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence has prompted government officials to propose a bill that allows artists, actors and other performers to bring a lawsuit against people who replicate their likeness without permission. Democratic Sens. Chris Coons of Delaware and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota are sponsoring the “No Fakes Act,” along with Republican Sens. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee and Thom Tillis of North Carolina, The Grio reported. “The NO FAKES Act would prevent a person from producing or distributing an unauthorized AI-generated replica of an individual to perform in an audiovisual or sound recording without the consent of the individual being replicated,” Coons said in a statement . “The person creating or sharing the unauthorized replication would be liable for the damages caused by the AI-generated fake.”
