Klobuchar Weighs in on Deepfake Video of Her Talking About Sydney Sweeney

Senator Klobuchar highlights over one million views of a manipulated AI video urging Congress to enact the No Fakes Act to protect individuals from deepfake misuse.

  • Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar urged lawmakers to enact stronger AI-related regulations after a deepfake video falsely showed her making offensive remarks about Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle advertisement on July 31, 2025.
  • The deepfake was created using footage from Klobuchar’s July 30 meeting, where she was discussing data privacy in her role as chair of a Senate Judiciary subcommittee, and was altered to include fabricated comments that criticized Democrats and appeared very convincing.
  • Klobuchar wrote a New York Times op-ed titled 'What I Didn't Say About Sydney Sweeney' urging passage of the bipartisan No Fakes Act to address harmful deepfakes and protect individuals’ image rights.
  • The No Fakes Act would allow people to demand removal of deepfakes on social media while preserving First Amendment protections, though the EFF criticizes it as creating a censorship infrastructure.
  • Klobuchar’s call highlights the urgency for Congress to regulate AI deepfakes amid tech platforms’ refusal to label or remove misleading content, posing risks to privacy and public discourse.
