Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee has signed into law first-of-its-kind legislation aimed at protecting songwriters, performers, and music industry professionals against the potential dangers and misuse of artificial intelligence (AI).

The Republican governor signed the legislation, known as the Ensuring Likeness Voice and Image Security (ELVIS) Act, while on stage alongside musicians and other state representatives at honky-tonk Robert’s Western World in Nashville on March 21.
