HR 4628 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
AI Impersonation Prevention Act of 2025
To amend title 18, United States Code, to prohibit AI-based impersonation of Federal officials.
Summary
This bill would amend federal law to prohibit the use of artificial intelligence to impersonate federal officials or employees, including by mimicking their voice or likeness without an explicit disclaimer, if such use produces materially false or misleading content. Violations would be punishable by a fine and up to three years imprisonment. The bill defines artificial intelligence broadly to include any system or software that performs tasks normally requiring human intelligence, including generative models capable of producing human-like audio, video, or text. The bill includes an exception for legitimate uses of artificial intelligence in satire, parody, or other First Amendment-protected expression, provided the content includes clear disclosure that it is not authentic. The bill also clarifies that "impersonation" means falsely representing oneself as another identifiable individual in a manner likely to cause others to believe the content is authentic.
