The executive order issued by President Trump on December 11 charges Congress with creating a national standard for artificial intelligence (AI), and limits the ability of states to enact their own AI laws. Supporters of the executive order say a patchwork of state AI laws could hinder innovation and a race with China to lead in AI. Critics, meanwhile, doubt the ability of Congress to craft viable legislation on AI, and worries mount about potential harmful effects of the new technology. "This move represents a dangerous decision that prioritizes a handful of tech companies over the protection and livelihood of American workers and industries," NAVA stated. "The voice acting community, already facing job losses from unregulated AI use, understands that we cannot wait for the federal government to act." NAVA officials are often lobbying in Washington, D.C. and state capitols for legislation to protect the rights of artists. And the organization created this Synthetic Voice /AI Rider for voice actors to use in contracts to prevent unauthorized use or reproduction of their voices. About regulating AI, NAVA adds: "States are closer to their constituents and can move more quickly to implement the necessary protections that preserve human talent and intellectual property. By throwing a wrench into state oversight, the administration is effectively giving AI developers a free pass to exploit creators’ intellectual property." NAVA said it "urges the administration to reverse course and allow states to implement regulations that ensure the ethical development of AI, protect consumers, and preserve the creative industries that are vital to our country’s economy."
