Recommendation 57
57
Current legislation fails to protect performers from nefarious generative AI use across creative industries
Conclusion
Although the film and HETV industry may be motivated to protect performers’ interests, with the history of collective bargaining agreements equipping it do so, that situation is not common across all the creative industries. The UK’s patchwork of copyright, intellectual property and data protection legislation is failing to protect performers from the nefarious use of generative AI technologies, such as unauthorised voice cloning and deepfakes. (Conclusion, Paragraph 206) 108
