UK MPs call for law to protect musicians from AI deepfakes

Musicians and other celebrities should be protected by a law that would ban AI-generated deepfakes in the U.K., MPs say.

An All-Party Parliamentary Group on Music advocated for legislation that would include “a specific personality right to protect creators and artists from misappropriation and false endorsement.” The proposed law should also safeguard musicians against the potential of artificial intelligence to become “a destroyer of creators’ livelihoods,” according to a report the MPs released on Wednesday (May 1).
