Celebrities Trademark Voices To Prevent AI Cloning
Zoe Kravitz has filed trademark applications for two audio clips of her voice and an image of her performing on stage. The move aims to protect her voice and likeness from artificial intelligence. She joins other celebrities, such as Taylor Swift and Matthew McConaughey, in addressing these concerns. Celebrities are increasingly trademarking their voices to prevent unauthorized AI cloning and to monetize voice-cloning rights. Matthew McConaughey has already trademarked his voice and established a deal with voice-cloning company Eleven Labs. The move allows artificial intelligence to use his voice under specific commercial agreements.
