Artificial intelligence and digital media have reshaped how personal identity can be captured, manipulated, and monetized. Name, image, and likeness (NIL) rights are transforming alongside technology to provide greater protections to athletes, entertainers, and content creators. This panel features a discussion with two individuals in the music industry who have been intimately involved in shaping new NIL policy from the ground up: Jessica Richard, Senior Vice President, Federal Public Policy at the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and Mark Baker, Senior Vice President, Public Policy and Government Affairs at Warner Music Group. We will examine the origins of NIL rights, the current NIL statutory landscape, and the push for federal legislation addressing NIL in connection with AI-generated deepfakes.

Learning Outcomes

  • Understanding the foundational legal principles of NIL rights and their distinction from other intellectual property protections.
  • Exploring state-by-state variations in NIL legislation and the push for federal standardization.
  • Investigating emerging legislative responses to AI-generated artificial media.
  • Anticipating future developments in digital rights, platform regulation, and cross-industry applications.
