Bill > SR81

This Resolution encourages the United States Congress to pass two specific pieces of federal legislation: the Nurture Originals, Foster Art, and Keep Entertainment Safe Act of 2023 (NO FAKES Act) and the No Artificial Intelligence Fake Replicas And Unauthorized Duplications Act of 2024 (No AI FRAUD Act), or similar laws. The purpose of these acts is to protect individuals, particularly artists and creative professionals, from exploitation by rapidly advancing artificial intelligence (AI) technology that can generate fake content or duplicate likenesses and voices without permission. The Resolution acknowledges the significant evolution of AI technology and its potential to misappropriate a person's name, image, likeness, voice, and signature, which are rights already protected in Hawaii. It emphasizes the importance of balancing creative freedom with safeguards against such misuse, aiming to encourage human jobs and establish a framework where individuals have a property right to their own likeness and voice.
