If you're talking about non-synthetic stuff, then there are all kinds of documentaries and news reports and really things that people have a public interest in making where you don't want to give someone the right to say you cannot depict me in a thing.

Where do you draw the line between an AI-generated image and a Photoshop of someone and a drawing of someone? Should you not be able to depict any person in a situation that they don't want to be depicted in, even if that situation is something that would just broadly be protected by the First Amendment?

The two bills are a little bit the thing I talked about where one of them, the Defiance Act, is really specifically about we want to look at non-consensual pornographic images. We define what that means. And we think that this particular thing we can carve out. There are lots of questions about, in general, how far you want to go in banning synthetic images. But it's really targeting porn.

sexually explicit pictures of real people. And I think things like the No Fakes Act, I believe there's also something called the No AI Fraud Act. These are much broader.
