Rise of AI Voice Technology: German Voice Acting Association Calls for Sound Copyright Protection

With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) voice technology, the German Voice Acting Association has issued a statement urging the government to enhance the protection of sound copyright to prevent unauthorized use of voice works. The association is concerned that existing laws are inadequate to address the challenges posed by AI technology, which could impact the rights of voice actors.
Representatives from the association emphasize that voice acting is a creative expression that deserves legal protection. They stress the need for an appropriate legal framework regarding the use of AI-generated voice content to ensure the rights of voice authors are not infringed upon.
