The "AI Impersonation Prevention Act of 2025" seeks to amend federal law by prohibiting the knowing use of artificial intelligence to impersonate officers or employees of the United States. This includes mimicking an official's voice or likeness without an explicit disclaimer, specifically when such use produces materially false or misleading content . Violators of this prohibition could face significant penalties, including fines, imprisonment for up to three years, or both. The bill provides clear definitions for "artificial intelligence" as systems performing human-like tasks, and "impersonates" as falsely representing an individual in a way likely to deceive. However, it explicitly exempts legitimate uses in satire, parody, or other First Amendment-protected expressive conduct, provided these include a clear disclosure that the content is not authentic.
