The Many Voices of Anne Ahlert

This week, #Tennessee passed #TheElvisAct (Ensuring Likeness, Voice, and Image Security Act) intended to protect artists from having their voice and likeness used by #AI without consent.

All the stories I've found are about #musicians and #singers.

Could a #VoiceActor in California could sue someone in Ohio who had pirated their voice, simply by filing a lawsuit in Tennessee?🤔

Tennessee becomes the first state to protect musicians and other artists against AI

The Ensuring Likeness Voice and Image Security Act, or ELVIS Act, is an updated version of the state's right of publicity law. The new legislation includes AI-specific protections.

@TheManyVoices IANAL but my understand is that you have to actually prove you have connection to a particular jurisdiction (I.e., live there, work there, the illegal act was committed there, etc.) You can’t just choose to bring the suit in Tennessee because they happen to have a favorable law.
