NO FAKES Act of 2025

# NO FAKES Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The NO FAKES Act of 2025 aims to protect artists and creators from unauthorized use of their work through artificial intelligence and digital manipulation. The bill would create legal protections and remedies for situations where someone uses an artist's likeness, voice, image, or creative work without permission—particularly in the context of AI-generated content and deepfakes. It addresses intellectual property concerns in the digital age by giving creators tools to take action against unauthorized use of their work online. **Who It Affects** This bill would primarily affect artists, musicians, photographers, and other creative professionals whose work could be copied or manipulated digitally.

It would also impact tech companies and social media platforms that host user-generated content, as they may face new compliance requirements. The bill falls under the jurisdiction of the Department of Commerce and involves federal regulations on digital media and the internet. **Current Status** As of now, the bill (HR 2794) is in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet advanced to a full vote in the House of Representatives. The bill was sponsored by Representative Maria Elvira Salazar (R-FL).
