The leaders of the technology and music industry testified about the dangers of the deep made with artificial intelligence on Wednesday, urging legislators to approve legislation that protects the voices and similarities of people from being replicated without consent, while allowing the use of technology in a responsible manner.
In statements to the members of the Panel of the Judicial Committee of the Senate on privacy, technology and law, the executives of the Association of the YouTube industry and the recording of America, as well as the Country Music singer Martina McBride, defended the Bipartisan No Fakes law, which seeks to create federal protections for voice, the image, the image of the artists of the artists of the artists of the artists Inaouting.
The Group argued that Americans in all areas, whether adolescents or high -profile musical artists, ran the risk that their similarities will be badly used. The legislation, reintroduced in the Senate last month, would combat the defenders of the depths by holding people or companies if they produced an unauthorized digital replica of an individual in an action.
“AI technology is incredible and can be used for so many wonderful purposes,” McBride told the panel. “But like all great technologies, you can also abuse, in this case by stealing the voices and similarities of people to scare and disappoint families, manipulate the images of young girls in a shocking way, for saying at least, make government officials sound or make false recordings that are posed as artists like me.”
No Fakes law would also hold the platforms if they knew that a replica was not authorized, while excluding certain digital replicas from coverage based on the protections of the first amendment. It would also establish a notification and help process for the victims of unauthorized defenders “to have a way to obtain online platforms to tear down the deep,” said the sponsors of the bill last month.
The bill would address the use of digital replicas not agreed in audiovisual works, images or sound recordings.
Almost 400 artists, actors and interpreters have signed in support of the legislation, according to the human art campaign, which advocates the responsible use of AI, including Leann Rimes, Bette Midler, Missy Elliott, Scarlett Johansson and Sean Astin.
The testimony occurs two days after President Donald Trump signed Take It Down’s lawbipartisan legislation that promulgated stricter sanctions for the distribution of non -consensual intimate images, sometimes called “revenge pornography”, as well as defenders created by AI.
Mitch Glazier, CEO of La Riaa, said that the law does not fake is “the next perfect step to build” in that law.
“It provides a remedy to the victims of invasive damage that go beyond intimate images addressed by that legislation, protecting artists such as Martina from the deep and clones of voice not agreed that breach the confidence it has built with millions of fans,” he said, adding that “it empowers individuals to eliminate deeply wirelessly that is eliminated as a platform that can be eliminated soon as a platform can soon eliminate a platform as a platform Require without requiring anyone to Hire lawyers or go to court or go to court “”.
Suzana Carlos, head of musical policy on YouTube, added that the bill would protect the credibility of online content. The regulation of AI should not penalize companies to provide tools that can be used for allowed and not allowed uses, he said in the written testimony, before addressing the subcommittee.
The legislation offers a viable, neutral solution in technology and integral, he said, and would optimize global operations for platforms such as YouTube while empowering musicians and rights holders to administer their IP. The platforms have the responsibility of addressing the challenges raised by the content generated by AI, he added.
“YouTube largely supports this bill because we see the incredible opportunity for AI, but we also recognize those damages, and we believe that AI needs to be deployed responsible,” he said.
