US SB1367

Establishes federal intellectual property rights for individuals to control the use of their voice and visual likeness in AI-generated "digital replicas," defined as computer-generated representations where the person did not actually perform or appear

Creates a property right that cannot be assigned during the individual's lifetime but can be licensed for up to 10 years (5 years for minors), with written agreements required specifying intended uses

Post-death rights last 10 years initially, renewable in 5-year periods up to 70 years total if right holders demonstrate active public use and register with the Copyright Office

Holds liable anyone who publicly distributes unauthorized digital replicas or products/services designed primarily to create them, with statutory damages ranging from $5,000 to $750,000 depending on the violator type and good faith compliance efforts

Exempts digital replicas used in bona fide news, documentaries, commentary, criticism, satire, parody, or fleeting/negligible uses, but provides no exemption for sexually explicit deepfakes regardless of disclaimers
