Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.

Would ban using AI to impersonate federal officials, protecting people from fake content.

This bill would make it illegal to knowingly use artificial intelligence to pretend to be a federal official, like mimicking their voice or look, if it creates false or misleading information. It aims to protect the public from deceptive AI content while allowing satire or parody, as long as it includes a clear disclaimer that it's not real.

What Would Change

Today, existing law prohibits general impersonation of federal officials but doesn't specifically address using artificial intelligence to do so. This bill would make it a specific crime to knowingly use AI to impersonate a federal official, including mimicking their voice or look, if it creates false or misleading content, with penalties of fines or up to three years in prison.

Key Provisions

Would ban knowingly using artificial intelligence to impersonate federal officers or employees if it creates false or misleading content.
Would define "artificial intelligence" to include systems that make human-like audio, video, or text.
Would define "impersonates" as falsely acting as someone in a way that makes others believe the content is real.
Would set penalties of fines or up to three years in prison, or both, for those who break this rule.
Would allow legitimate AI use for satire, parody, or other protected speech, as long as it clearly states it is not authentic.
