The AI Impersonation Prevention Act of 2025 makes it a federal crime to use artificial intelligence technology to impersonate federal officials, such as by creating deepfake videos or synthetic audio that mimics a government employee's voice or appearance without clear disclosure. Anyone convicted of this offense faces up to three years in prison and/or fines. The law specifically targets misleading AI-generated content presented as authentic, affecting anyone who creates or distributes such deepfakes with the intent to deceive. The legislation includes an exception for legitimate satire, parody, and other First Amendment-protected speech, as long as clear disclaimers are included stating the content is not authentic. The bill does not establish new funding mechanisms and would take effect upon enactment.
