Latest action on S. 1367: Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people whose voice or face could be cloned by AI, the platforms that host user-uploaded content, and companies building AI tools that can generate realistic likenesses. It also matters for estates of deceased performers and for creators who use AI in news, commentary, or parody.

Why this matters: AI tools can now clone anyone's voice or face cheaply and convincingly, but existing laws are a patchwork of state rules that leave most people unprotected. This bill would create one federal standard that applies everywhere, giving people a clear legal tool to fight unauthorized deepfakes and giving platforms specific rules to follow.
