What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Senator Marsha Blackburn introduced the NO FAKES Act in the Senate, a bill designed to provide legal protections against unauthorized AI-generated replicas of voices and likenesses. Although the legislation received nearly universal support, it was thwarted by an objection from Senator Ted Cruz. The bill is currently stalled until at least November.
