Chris Coons and Rep. María Elvira Salazar, two proponents of the NO FAKES Act. Yesterday, a host of artists met with a handful of lawmakers for events including a roundtable focused on AI.
This year’s RIAA lobbying event which takes place during the WHCD week is focused on the threat posed by AI to musicians with a focus on the NO FAKES Act, the Transparency and Responsibility for Artificial Intelligence Networks (TRAIN) Act and the Copyright Labeling and Ethical AI Reporting (CLEAR) Act.
