Television Academy Endorses Bill to Protect Unauthorized Likeness Use

We are proud to endorse the NO FAKES Act.

Representing nearly 30,000 members across all disciplines of the television industry, the Television Academy supports the Nurture Originals, Foster Art, and Keep Entertainment Safe (NO FAKES) Act and applauds Rep. Maria Salazar for working on this important bill. Television is built on the talent, creativity, and hard work of real people - writers, producers, and TV executives to camera operators and cinematographers who bring stories to life. As artificial intelligence and digital replication technologies evolve, it is essential to put in place meaningful protections that prevent the unauthorized and exploitative use of performers’ voices, likenesses, and creative expressions.

The Television Academy supports the NO FAKES Act to establish clear federal protections that uphold the rights of television professionals and the creative foundation of the television industry.
