Latest action on H.R. 2794: Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people whose voice or face can be copied with digital tools. That includes performers, artists, public figures, and any other person. It also affects online platforms that host user posts, AI tool makers, creators, journalists, estates, and companies that license a person’s image or voice.

Why this matters: AI tools now make it easier to copy a real person’s face or voice without permission. This bill would give people a national way to fight those uses. It could help stop impersonation and exploitation, but it could also affect creators, platforms, and AI developers. The final impact would depend on how courts read key terms and how strongly platforms enforce takedown rules.

Key provisions in H.R. 2794

• Creates a federal right that lets people control realistic computer-made copies of their voice or image.
• Treats this right as property. A person cannot transfer it away while alive, but can license it in writing. Licenses for minors face extra limits and need court approval.
• Lets the right continue after death. Heirs or other right holders can control it for at least 10 years, with five-year renewals up to 70 years, if the replica keeps being used publicly with permission. Registration with the Copyright Office is optional.
• Makes it a civil violation to publicly share or make available an unauthorized digital replica. It also covers products or services mainly built or promoted to make unauthorized replicas of specific people.
• Requires proof that the person or company knew, or deliberately avoided knowing, that the replica was unauthorized. Online services can count as aware after a proper notice or court order.
