Court Gives Relief To Singer Arijit Singh, Says AI Mimicking Voice Violation Of "Personality Rights"
NDTV
The singer had moved the court claiming that these platforms provide AI tools to synthesise artificial sound recordings by mimicking his voice, mannerisms and other attributes.
Granting relief to composer-singer Arijit Singh, the Bombay High Court has said AI tools generating content using a celebrity's voice, image or other attributes without consent violate his or her "personality rights".
Celebrities are particularly vulnerable to unauthorised generation of content through AI tools, the court said.
Hearing a petition filed by the famous singer, Justice R I Chagla in his interim order on July 26 restrained eight online platforms from using Singh's "personality rights", and directed them to remove all such content and also voice conversion tools.
