Can I make a ‘deepfake’ video of myself? For example, I might want to create a Rap version of my campaign speech.

House passes bill to ban AI-generated media 90 days before elections

The legislation defines deep fakes, or synthetic media, as images, audio recordings or video recordings of someone’s “appearance, speech or conduct that has been intentionally manipulated with the use of generative adversarial network techniques or other digital technology to create a realistic but false image, audio or video.”

The ban itself would concern any depiction of political candidates that are made to look authentic and would “present a fundamentally different understanding or impression of the appearance, action or speech” than if it were real media.

If the person who made the deep fake discloses it is AI-generated, then this bill’s ban wouldn’t apply.
