The intersection of new laws and technology are challenging, especially in the realm of communication technology when it comes to artificial intelligence (AI) and the potential impact on free speech.
In Congree, a bill called the No Artificial Intelligence Fake Replicas And Unauthorized Duplications (No AI FRAUD) Act was introduced with the aim of protecting individuals' rights to their likeness and voice.
However, while the bill's sponsors argue that it focuses on AI-generated fakes and forgeries, its actual reach raises concerns about the potential implications for creators and platforms (i.e. Tik Tok parodies, political cartoons or the depiction of historical characters) exercising their First Amendment rights.
While it acknowledges First Amendment protections as a defense, it simultaneously seeks to expand the categories of speech unprotected by the First Amendment.
If passed, the No AI Fraud Act would likely lead to an increase in content takedowns and platform bans to avoid potential violations. Additionally, the bill's "negligible harm" subjective designation and declaration of certain content categories as inherently harmful raise concerns about the potential limitations on creative expression.
