Just say no to NO FAKES Act, EFF argues
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) says the revised version of the NO FAKES Act, reintroduced in April, would be a disaster for free speech and innovation if signed into law.
The bill [PDF] aims to address valid concerns about AI-generated audio and visual replicas of people in the wrong way, the EFF argues, by establishing a new intellectual property right over one’s image, rather than a privacy right that would deter unauthorized AI replicas, among other purported flaws.
The new right would incentivize a market for monetizing the simulation of dead celebrities and would lead to more litigation, the EFF argues.
