Tokyo court: AI cloning of actor's voice violated his rights

A Tokyo district court ruled that the human voice is legally protected as fully as image rights. The case involved actor Kenjiro Tsuda — known for dubbing the character Kento Nanami in the anime "Jujutsu Kaisen" — whose voice was cloned by AI and used on a TikTok account without consent. The ruling is a landmark decision for protecting creators' rights in the era of artificial intelligence.
