Deepfake Regulations Face Supreme Court Challenge

WASHINGTON — Can youcopyright a face? A new federal law aimed at curbing the spread of malicious deepfakes makes it a felony to generate a synthetic likeness of a person without their explicit consent. However, digital artists and satire groups are challenging the law, arguing it violates the First Amendment. The Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case, which will set a massive precedent for how digital identity and parody are handled in the age of generative AI.
