Kenjiro Tsuda's AI Voice lawsuit has reportedly been dismissed ✍️ The Jujutsu Kaisen and Yu-Gi-Oh! voice actor sued TikTok over more than 180 videos that allegedly used AI to imitate his distinctive voice without permission. The Tokyo District Court dismissed the case after TikTok and the user involved had already removed the account and videos, meaning there was no longer content for the court to order removed. However, the ruling also addressed an important issue, recognizing that a person’s voice can be protected as a personal symbol under publicity rights. That makes Tsuda’s case significant beyond the outcome itself. As AI becomes increasingly capable of recreating familiar voices, the question of who has the right to use those voices is only becoming more important.
