AI tool that copied actor’s ‘lustrous’ voice violated his rights, says Tokyo court
Tokyo’s highest court ruled that an artificial‑intelligence program that mimicked actor Kenjiro Tsuda’s distinctive voice infringed his publicity rights, marking a landmark decision. The judgment came after Tsuda sued a TikTok user who employed the AI tool to generate content using his voice without permission, establishing legal precedent for protecting personal image and voice in digital media.
