Rights & provenance
The NO FAKES Act, explained
Last updated 2026-07-21
The NO FAKES Act is proposed US federal legislation creating a right against unauthorized AI-generated replicas of a person’s voice and likeness.
Why it matters to a buyer
If enacted, it raises the stakes on using identifiable voices without documented consent — exactly the exposure buyers of voice data need to manage.
Why it matters to a data owner
It strengthens an owner’s/performer’s position and makes consented, licensed voice data more valuable.
Current legal status
As of mid-2026 the bill was advancing through the Senate (a Judiciary Committee markup in June 2026 per public reporting); it is not yet law and its final scope may change. [Verify current legislative status before relying on this.]
