AI Impersonation Prevention Act of 2025

This bill makes it a crime to use AI to pretend to be a federal official. It covers fake voices, videos, or messages made by AI that could trick people into thinking they are hearing from a real government worker. If someone does this and creates false or misleading content, they can face fines or up to three years in prison.

The bill allows satire and parody, but only if it’s clearly labeled as not real. It also defines what “artificial intelligence” means and what “impersonate” means, so there’s less confusion about what’s covered.

• Who is affected: People and groups who create or share AI-made voices, videos, or texts of federal officials; the general public who could be targeted by scams.
• What changes: Using AI to mimic a federal official without a clear disclaimer, in a way that misleads people, becomes a federal crime; satire is allowed only with obvious disclosure.
• Penalties: Fines and up to three years in prison for violations.
