Congress seems to think that the highest priority when it comes to AI is to protect celebrities – living or dead. Never fear, ghosts of the famous and infamous, the U.S Senate is on it. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/04/congress-should-just-say-no-no-fakes
Congress Should Just Say No to NO FAKES

There is a lot of anxiety around the use of generative artificial intelligence, some of it justified. But it seems like Congress thinks the highest priority is to protect celebrities – living or dead. Never fear, ghosts of the famous and infamous, the U.S Senate is on it. We’ve already explained the problems with the House’s approach, No AI FRAUD. The Senate’s version, the Nurture Originals, Foster Art and Keep Entertainment Safe, or NO FAKES Act, isn’t much better.

@eff There is some ground for further abuse of copyright law. Where new artwork is needed to protect an image (person or character?) and this can now be automated.
@eff I think it only applies to characters. As they are a created ‘work’.
@eff So Neo can now just be auto-cgi’d and be claimed by corporate interest forever.
