Texas looks to protect artists from artificial intelligence fakes

Texas artists, led by musician Josh Abbott, are raising concerns about the potential misuse of artificial intelligence in the music industry. Abbott testified before the Senate Business and Commerce Committee, highlighting the lack of protections for artists' names, images, and voices against AI-generated deepfakes. The fear is that AI could create convincing replicas of their work, leading to misrepresentation and loss of royalties.

State Senator Nathan Johnson emphasized the need for legislative action to protect Texas's cultural identity, which is deeply tied to its music scene. As other states like Tennessee and Illinois have already enacted laws to safeguard artists' likenesses, Texas is lagging behind. The upcoming legislative session in January 2025 is expected to address these issues, with Abbott stressing the importance of protecting artists' rights to maintain the integrity of Texas culture.
