Actors and singers register their voices as trademarks to protect themselves from AI

Artists like Taylor Swift and Tom Cruise are registering their voices as trademarks to protect themselves from artificial intelligence, which is already capable of perfectly replicating the tone and vocal gestures of any person. The central concern is that record labels could use AI to generate voices identical to those of artists and produce full albums without paying copyright fees, or that film studios could use algorithms to dub movies with the original voices of actors, taking advantage of existing voice recordings that machines can easily learn from. This trend emerges as a legal response to technological advancement that threatens the image rights and intellectual property of entertainment industry professionals.
