A lawsuit filed by actors Paul Lerman and Linnea Sage against AI voice cloning service Lovo has progressed, with a judge ruling that claims related to contract and publicity rights can proceed. The actors allege Lovo used their voice recordings, obtained under false pretenses for "academic research" and "tests," to create commercially available voice clones. Lovo, which has since filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, argued that its AI generated new content rather than directly copying the actors' voices. The court's decision at this stage does not prove guilt but allows the case to move forward, highlighting the complex legal landscape surrounding AI-generated content and intellectual property. AI
