Legal Protection of the Individual regarding the Use of Their Voice by Artificial Intelligence
Abstract
Given that the individual is at the heart of the law, what legal protection does he or she have against artificial intelligence tools that capture elements of personal identity, such as the voice? How can we preserve people’s identities in an age when computational tools can easily capture the identifying characteristics of human beings?
In this paper, we will explore the right to one’s own voice by examining how the law protects this human attribute. We will identify constitutional provisions that provide this legal protection at the highest level, without losing sight of existing specific legislation. Finally, we will discuss several high-profile international cases that have brought attention to the risks these practices pose to individuals’ identities.
