On 23 July 2025, the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Impersonation Prevention Act of 2025 was introduced to the United States House of Representatives. The Act seeks to amend title 18 of the United States Code to prohibit the use of AI to impersonate Federal officials. It covers the use of AI to mimic the likeness or voice of officials without an explicit disclaimer, where such conduct results in materially false or misleading content. The Act also provides that violations would be subject to fines or imprisonment of up to three years. The Act preserves legitimate uses of AI in satire, parody, or other expressive activity protected under the First Amendment, provided there is clear disclosure that the content is not authentic.
