“The NO FAKES Act, a proposed federal law that would ban AI-powered voice cloning and deepfakes, passed a key Congressional hurdle Thursday (June 18) as it was approved by a Senate committee. …

In the absence of stronger safeguards, stars like Taylor Swift and Lionel Richie have started registering trademarks on their voices, but it’s unclear how effective such efforts will be. Attorneys for artists have also used copyrights and old state likeness laws to combat fakes online, but those laws aren’t a perfect fit for addressing deepfakes.

NO FAKES would address that gap by allowing individuals to sue anyone who posts unauthorized “digital replicas” of their likeness, or the technology companies that enable their creation. …

The new likeness power created by the bill would be a property right, which would extend beyond a person’s death and could be controlled by their heirs for decades. It can be licensed like any other piece of intellectual property, albeit with a 10-year cap on such licenses.”
