According to Global Strategy Group and North Star Opinion Research on behalf of the Human Artistry Campaign, out of the Americans who cast their vote for Donald Trump in the 2024 election, 87% think AI developers should be required to get permission from creators if they want to use their work to train for-profit AI models. They also feel that "effective guardrails" are needed to "protect people from being exploited" by the technological advancement. Nine in 10 Trump voters (88%) believe voice clones and deepfakes are a problem and 84% have supported the NO FAKES Act, bipartisan legislation that could ban unauthorized computer-generated recreations of a person's voice and likeness. "Conservatives clearly aren't buying what Big AI is selling," Human Artistry Campaign Senior Advisor Moiya McTier explained in a statement. "This poll makes clear that the president's strongest supporters want meaningful protection from AI abuses and strongly believe human creators have the right to decide when, how and on what terms their art is or isn't used by AI."
