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.
DoorDash drone deliveries are first coming to northern California with Chipotle and Popeyes on board
DoorDash has revealed more details about its drone delivery program. Chipotle and Popeyes are among the first restaurant partners to sign up for DoorDash Air, which will initially be available in northern California. The company also offered up more details about its drone, which has six propellers and is said to have a similar cruising noise to that of a passing car when it's at delivery height. It designed the drone to "fit the communities we'll operate in." DoorDash noted around 80 percent of restaurant orders that are available to order through the platform are small and light enough for drone delivery. The company added that, based on estimates from initial tests, "we've seen delivery times from the restaurant to the consumer's door in under five minutes on average."
