NO FAKES Act of 2024
The NO FAKES Act of 2024 establishes legal rights for individuals to control how their voice and visual likeness can be used in digital replicas (AI-generated representations that are highly realistic but not authentic to the individual's actual performance). It gives living individuals the right to authorize or prohibit digital replicas of themselves, with specific licensing rules for minors and provisions for rights to transfer to heirs after death. The bill creates liability for unauthorized creation, distribution, or display of digital replicas, while providing exceptions for news, documentaries, commentary, and other protected speech. Online services hosting user-generated content are protected from liability if they promptly remove alleged unauthorized content upon receiving proper notice. The law preempts conflicting state laws regarding digital likeness rights for expressive works, establishing a federal standard for these protections.
