Summary

The bill makes it clear that false statements created with artificial intelligence are treated the same as traditional libel or slander. It also gives every individual an exclusive right to consent to any use of their name, likeness, voice or other personal identity, and sets out civil remedies for unauthorized uses. The changes aim to protect people from deep‑fakes, AI‑generated rumors, and commercial exploitation of their identity.
