The Japan Actors Union has enacted stringent new guidelines to combat the misuse of AI-generated voices, with a particularly firm stance against replicating the voices of deceased actors. Under the new rules, the use of a deceased performer’s voice through AI technology is strictly prohibited unless explicit permission was granted by the actor during their lifetime, marking a significant move to protect the legacies and rights of performers in the face of rapidly advancing artificial intelligence.
