The Ensuring Likeness Voice and Image Security Act, or ELVIS Act, is an updated version of the state’s old right of publicity law. While the old law protected an artist’s name, photograph or likeness, the new legislation includes AI-specific protections.

Once the law takes effect on July 1, people will be prohibited from using AI to mimic an artist’s voice without permission.

        Nor do I, but I certainly see how this could become a shitshow quickly. See, e.g., bar closing times, concealed carry permits, nuances around medical decisions, and a host of other things individually legislated by fifty-two jurisdictions (incl fed and dc) - consequences of an accidental trip one exit too far down the interstate can be devastating.
