SAG-AFTRA held a press conference on April 9, 2025 to express support and celebrate the reintroduction of the bipartisan bill, fostering original works, fostering arts and keeping entertainment safe (no forgery) bills. Sponsored by Sens. Martha Blackburn, , , , , Chris Coons, , , , , Amy Klobucharand Thom Tillisthe bill would be a step to protect the voices and similarities of creators and everyday Americans from unauthorized use and creation of digital replicas.
“The No False Act will establish the first ever federal propaganda rights in the United States, a major advancement in fighting for creators’ rights. The bill provides a national standard that protects creators’ portraits from unconsensualization, gives them control over digital figures, and provides litigation to liability and explains the unauthorized use of individuals, companies and platforms. Nina Fraizer When the bill was introduced last year.
It is easier than ever to use nicknames, pseudonyms, signatures, sounds, videos, or photos of celebrities to sell products and services without permission. The No-False Law aims to regulate its right to propaganda, also known as personality rights, allowing individuals to control their name, image, similarity and other commercial uses. These are usually controlled and legislated from state to state, which is why the federal approach is so important.
AI will not only affect celebrities
Not only does this affect celebrities, because anyone can create deeper layers.
SAG-AEFRA President Delante Say: “The No Forgery Act is not only about protecting actors, recording artists and broadcasters. Deep fruit will destroy all life. Whether you are a public figure or a high school student who has been exploited by the spread of the internet, it is time for humans to be able to say no, not my face, not my voice, not my voice!
“In the age of digital cloning, deep strikes can be devastating,” Duncan Crabtree – IrelandNational Executive Director and Chief Negotiator, SAG-AFTRA.
“For the creative community, this bill is especially meaningful. SAG-AFTRA members and those who rely on their face and voice for their livelihood will be able to demand platforms remove illegal voice and image clones. Creatives will also be able to seek damages from those who intentionally cause harm.As innovation continues to rapidly evolve, it’s time for commonsense legislation that defends individual rights,” Crabtree-Ireland concluded.
There have been examples that have been taken to court. last year, Scarlett Johnson Prosecuted Openai. Openai approaches Johansson and dubbes CHPT’s AI assistant. When she refused, the sound of Openai using sounded like Johansson’s.
“Legal experts say that Johnson may have strong credibility in court if he does decide to sue Johnson, which could lead to a series of past cases that could lead to doubts from one of the world’s leading AI companies and raise questions about the industry’s ready-to-be-ready unknowingly unconsciousness about the many cluttered outskirts of AI. It’s a lot of publicity. Oversight of AI and requires greater protection for creators.”
Also, last year, George Carlin A lawsuit was filed against Dudesy LLC, claiming that Dudesy used AI to mimic Carlin’s voice.
“The property of George Carlin, composed of Main Sequence Ltd. and the executor of the estate Jerold Hamza– January litigation lawsuit against companies operating websites and podcasts in Central California District Court, which created and released AI-generated podcasts that allegedly involved Carlin’s voice and comedy style. At the heart of the podcast is “George Carlin: I’m glad I’m dead (2024), allegedly written, created and controlled by an AI program called Dudesy AI.” Anna B. Chauvet and Maxime I. Jarquin.
