The Japan Actors Guild proposes AI legislation, calling for the establishment of 'voice and portrait rights'

The Japan Actors Guild proposed AI legislative proposals and requested the establishment of "voice and portrait rights"

IT House reported today (June 14) that the Japan Actors Guild, which is committed to protecting actors and voice actors (dubbing actors), yesterday announced a "Proposal on the Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence Technology." The proposal strongly recommends that industry and government review the implementation of copyright laws and formulate regulations to establish voice image rights.

The main demands of the article are as follows:

Actively exchange opinions at home and abroad, and formulate relevant Japanese laws with reference to EU artificial intelligence regulations;

Review the operation of copyright law;

Clearly label AI-generated works;

Develop specific rules for applying AI to the field of expression;

Establish voice portrait rights.

"It is desirable to use new technologies to promote the development of human society," the Japan Actors Guild also stated. We firmly advocate that new guidelines and laws should be formulated based on the concept of "people first, AI supplemented".

Currently in Japan, AI-generated images of actresses and female voice actors have appeared, and there are even unofficially authorized AI voice actor voice changers for sale, so relevant legislation needs to be improved urgently. In Japan, during the period of rapid development of speech synthesis technology, a concept similar to voice portrait rights, namely "voice rights", emerged, which attracted widespread discussion and attention.
