AI can already clone your voice, face, and personality in minutes – and right now, US law is a messy patchwork when it comes to stopping it. The proposed NO FAKES Act aims to create the first nationwide right to control your own digital likeness; here’s what it actually does, why it matters, and how it fits alongside state laws and today’s AI tools.
