The ELVIS Act or Ensuring Likeness Voice and Image Security Act, signed into law by Tennessee Governor Bill Lee on March 21, 2024, marked a significant milestone in the area of regulation of artificial intelligence and public sector policies for artists in the era of artificial intelligence (AI)[1] and AI alignment. It was noted as the first enacted legislation in the United States of America specifically designed to protect musicians from the unauthorized use of their voices through artificial intelligence technologies and against audio deepfakes and voice cloning.[1][2][3][4] This legislation distinguishes itself by adding penalties for copying a performer's voice without permission, a measure that addresses the sophisticated ability of AI to mimic public figures, including artists.[1][3]
