The singer warned of the impact on the industry if the use of unauthorized digital replicas goes unchecked.
Country singer Martina McBride is the latest entertainer to testify on Capitol Hill for the need for proposed legislation to protect individuals voices and likenesses from unauthorized use, including in AI deepfakes.

Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Sen. Amy Klobuchar(D-MN).
