"Tennessee Enacts ELVIS Act to Protect Musicians from AI Impersonations"

The governor of Tennessee has signed the ELVIS Act into law, allowing musicians to sue over AI-generated impersonations, warning that AI in the wrong hands can "destroy" the music industry by robbing artists of their unique gifts and intellectual property. The law aims to protect artists from exploitation and replication by artificial intelligence, with concerns rising over AI's ability to synthesize songs using real singers' voices and create entire songs in their style. The ELVIS Act is named after Elvis Presley, and its signing was attended by major country stars in Nashville, a hub for the music industry.
