Dani Deahl discusses artificial intelligence (AI) and the NO FAKES Act in episode 304 of The Future of What, examining a proposed federal approach to protections against impersonation.
Only half of US states have codified a right of publicity. That uneven protection complicates responses when content imitating someone’s likeness crosses state lines.
Deahl is Vice President of Creator Policy & Corporate Affairs at Caldecott Music Group and Head of Communications & Creator Insights at BandLab.
The conversation examines how changes to existing laws could help publicity rights apply across state borders, alongside the NO FAKES Act’s effort to establish a federal approach.
Deahl also addresses AI’s spread, the philosophical questions it raises for the music industry, the wider effects of AI policy and music’s role in human connection.
