Any use of AI to clone someone’s voice, image, or likeness, should always be OPT-IN only. Identifiable biometric data should be protected and never used for training or cloning without clear informed consent and control. Federal legislation like the NO FAKES Act will help ensure that ALL Americans have these protections regardless of the state they live in.
