Summary

The AI Likeness Protection Act requires anyone who publishes or shares a highly realistic AI‑created likeness of an individual to first obtain that person’s permission (or a guardian’s for minors). It creates a civil cause of action with injunctive relief and damages or a $1,000 penalty per violation, while allowing defenses for labeling, obvious AI creation, or satire of public figures. The bill aims to curb deceptive AI content that can harm reputations and emotional well‑being.
