Title. And this will also affect non-AI imitations of voices?

    It is hygge to read about Denmark doing good work in this area.

    The proposal establishes legal definitions for unauthorized digital reproductions, specifically targeting “very realistic digital representation of a person, including their appearance and voice.”

    Creative works such as parody and satirical content remain exempt from these restrictions.

      Does this only affect digital reproductions? Because it’s sometimes easy to reproduce someone’s else voice especially if you are a voice actor. And what if you happen to have a voice almost identical to another person?

        The article seems focused on the digital angle, but I’m not sure.

        Because it’s sometimes easy to reproduce someone’s else voice especially if you are a voice actor.

        Is that widespread? My impression is that misrepresentation through fake likeness has exploded from AI generated deepfakes?

        And what if you happen to have a voice almost identical to another person?

        Then you have the right to your voice and they have the right to their voice. If neither uses the likeness for misrepresentation or other nefarious means then nothing will come of it. If either do there are probably already possibilities within current legal frameworks to prosecute.

          Voice imitations without AI are possible if you are skilled enough, but using AI is much easier because you can use recordings of people’s voices directly rather than trying to imitate the voices yourself.
