Japanese court rules human voices are protected in landmark AI case
A Tokyo court has sided with a Japanese voice actor who claimed a TikTok account had used AI to clone his "lustrous" baritone delivery, ruling that the human voice is protected by law in a landmark case. Kenjiro Tsuda is a prominent anime voice actor who has starred in huge number of movies, series and video games across his more than 30-year career, with his turn as Seto Kaiba in Yu-Gi-Oh! Tsuda asserted that the voice of the narrator of several TikTok videos uploaded to an anonymous account between July 2024 and the second half of last year was cloned from his own voice. While he was partially victorious in the case, his request to order TikTok to remove the videos in question was dismissed, as the offending account has already been deleted. In its decision, the court said that using the voice of an actor without permission should be deemed an infringement on their publicity rights, as reported by AFP.

2 Driverless Cars Crashed Going 155 mph. That Could Be a Good Thing
Only two of five vehicles finished the race around a notoriously difficult Formula 1 track, exposing what happens when autonomous systems meet blind corners, sensor failures, and physics. The grandstands erupted with shock as engineers clutched their heads in the paddock. One driverless race car, produced by the company PoliMove, slammed into Unimore's slowing vehicle in an event held by the Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League (A2RL). At the famous racing track in Imola, Italy, Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari, both cars crashed in an area called Rivazza. This is the circuit's final sequence, made up of corners that are notoriously difficult to navigate.

Trump's AI rebrand causes 'unprecedented' demand for Slovenian website names
President Donald Trump's push to rename AI may be behind an unprecedented rise in registrations for domain names in Slovenia, according to its official national registry. The president wants AI to be called super intelligence - or SI - the same initials used by Slovenian websites. She said the scale of activity in late September was unprecedented compared to the previous 12 months. President Trump called for the technology to be renamed during his speech to the United Nations General Assembly in New York on 11 September. The use of the word artificial makes it sound fake, he said.
