AI Impersonation Prevention Act of 2025
HR 4628, the AI Impersonation Prevention Act of 2025, prohibits using artificial intelligence to impersonate federal officials (including mimicking their voice or likeness) without a clear disclaimer, if the content is materially false or misleading. It makes knowingly creating such deceptive AI content a crime punishable by up to three years in prison or a fine, while explicitly exempting satire, parody, or protected speech that includes a clear disclosure it is not authentic. The bill directly affects individuals or entities producing AI-generated content falsely posing as federal employees or officials. It defines "artificial intelligence" broadly as systems performing human-like tasks (e.g., generating realistic audio or video) and "impersonates" as falsely representing oneself as another identifiable person.
