It is very obvious that the amount and type of damage is not the same if you clone any random person's voice or clone a political leader's voice.

It is not the same damage.

Murdering a random civilian and murdering a public official are also very different levels of damage, but we still outlaw and prosecute both of them. This is the same thing.

Not to mention, what constitutes a political leader? Just the upper echelon? What about local civil servants? Mayors, cops, judges? Are they gonna have a database of every public or political figure in the country? No they won't. This is absurd.

Barack Obama started out as a "community organizer."

AI can clone someone making a public speech at that level, then store it forever until they become the president.

Many jurisdictions actually do have higher penalties for crimes of violence committed against public officials than ordinary citizens. Assault a USPS postal worker at a post office and you automatically have a higher sentence than assaulting a UPS worker at a UPS store.

Don’t forget business people. Clone the voice of some executives and start calling people pretending to be them
