Ban AI from imitating humans without clear labelling

What the petition asks

It should be illegal for AI to impersonate humans without clear labelling, across all industries such as AI music artists, Influencers, Chatbots, and more.
AI is becoming more and more realistic every day, and it is already so difficult to tell what is AI and what isn’t. This should be a crime.
We are concerned AI is becoming more realistic everyday and is already difficult to differentiate between what is and isn’t AI. Recently, my grandma was excitedly recommending a blues music artist she found on Facebook, only to discover that it was AI. My dad called a hotel and was speaking to an AI chatbot, but it denied it when questioned.

AI is everywhere and is becoming increasingly realistic. We believe this should not be a guessing game. Change should be made and boundaries should be put in place.
