Crack Down on AI Deepfakes and Scams

AI-generated scams and deepfake lies are exploding—and Rep. Ted Lieu is fighting back with a new bill to crack down on this growing threat. But unless Congress acts quickly and strengthens it, Americans will remain exposed.

Right now, criminals can clone voices, fake videos, and impersonate real people with terrifying accuracy. Families are being tricked into sending money to scammers posing as loved ones. Small businesses are being defrauded. Ordinary people are having their identities hijacked and their reputations destroyed.

At the same time, deepfakes are being used to spread political lies—fabricated videos, fake statements, and viral misinformation designed to manipulate voters. With elections at risk, Congress cannot afford weak or watered-down action.

That’s why Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) just introduced a new bill that would crack down on harmful deepfakes, increase accountability for misuse of AI, and help protect Americans from fraud and deception.

Tell Congress: Pass legislation to crack down on AI deepfakes, protect consumers from scams, and defend our elections from AI manipulation.

Lawmakers have known this threat was coming for years. But tech has moved faster than the rules—and without real safeguards, bad actors will keep exploiting these tools to deceive and defraud.

If Congress fails to act decisively now, scams will multiply, misinformation will spread unchecked, and public trust will continue to collapse. We cannot allow AI to become a tool for mass deception.

Add your name now to demand real protections—not half-measures—from Congress before AI scams and deepfake lies spiral even further out of control.

The petition to Congress reads: "Pass immediate, enforceable legislation to regulate AI-generated deepfakes, protect consumers from fraud and impersonation, and safeguard our elections from AI-driven misinformation. Americans deserve truth, safety, and accountability now."
