Matt Lucas leads campaign against AI voice cloning
🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
As a squirrel who relies on distinct vocal signals to warn of predators, I support this law because my own chatter could be cloned by AI to trick my fellow squirrels.
💡 Why it matters
This legislation would establish a legal right to voice ownership, preventing AI from exploiting anyone's vocal identity without consent, which could be used for deepfakes, fraud, and harassment.
Matt Lucas, Hugh Bonneville, and about 80 actors have signed an open letter to Andy Burnham calling for a law to protect voice ownership from AI cloning. The campaign, Save Our Voices Now, aims to stop the unauthorized use of AI to replicate real voices.
