Hollywood Pressures Congress to Combat AI-Generated Deepfakes in Celebrity ScamsBy: Charilogone Editorial
Steve Harvey, famous for his role on “Family Feud,” has recently found himself at the center of AI-generated memes and scams. Celebrities like Taylor Swift and Joe Rogan have also had their images used in AI scams, prompting an increase in legislative efforts. Harvey is now advocating for stricter laws and penalties against AI deepfake creators and platforms.
A bipartisan group of senators is reintroducing the No Fakes Act to hold creators and platforms accountable for unauthorized AI-generated content. Meanwhile, other legislation, like the Take It Down Act, aims to criminalize AI-generated deepfake pornography. Prominent figures like Scarlett Johansson and organizations like the Recording Academy have expressed support for the measures.
Despite this support, critics warn that the No Fakes Act could overregulate and infringe on First Amendment rights. AI-generated content continues to proliferate, and companies like Vermillio AI are helping to identify and remove deepfake content. As the debate continues, Harvey and other celebrities are stressing the urgency of action to protect individuals from harmful AI-generated content.
