I had the privilege of testifying before the Texas Senate last month about the importance of protecting human creators in the age of generative AI. Today, the Human Artistry Campaign released polling showing that 87% of voters support new policies to protect artists’ voices and images from unauthorized use by AI developers and 89% support policies to protect all people from unauthorized deepfakes and voice clones. There is great momentum behind the bipartisan, bicameral NO FAKES Act to get this done. https://lnkd.in/e4e2BYJe

“The music industry has supported the development of artificial intelligence as a creative tool for a long time, and over the past year I’ve had the opportunity to contribute to the discussion about how Congress should set ground rules to ensure we are protected against deepfakes and bad actors in this space." Team RIAA is so excited to see our Senior VP of Federal Public Policy Thomas Clees included in Pollstar and VenuesNow Impact: NextGen Class of 2024!

The NO FAKES Act is crucial for protecting the rights to our voices and likenesses, helping to fight nonconsensual AI deepfakes and voice clones. 🎶 "As the music community embraces pro-artist, human-first uses of AI, the NO FAKES Act represents a huge step forward for smart, effective guardrails against irresponsible and unethical uses of these technologies. By returning to first principles and creating an enforceable new intellectual property right, the legislation lays the foundation for free market negotiations that will propel both innovation and safety forward in AI, not just for artists but for everyone," shared RIAA Chairman & CEO Mitch Glazier.

The Human Artistry Campaign (a coalition of over 200 entertainment organizations) officially endorsed the NO FAKES Act that was just officially introduced today in the U.S. Senate. This legislation, importantly, would create an enforceable new federal intellectual property right allowing victims of nonconsensual deepfakes and voice clones to have them quickly taken down and recover damages. Yes, a rare bipartisan bill. And glad to see Senator Amy Klobuchar from my original great state of Minnesota, once again, helping to lead the charge on behalf of the Creative Community! https://lnkd.in/gitJ7NiS #ai #artificialintelligence #nofakes #media #entertainment #hollywood #humanartistrycampaign
