Likeness Protection

Likeness protection refers to legal and technical measures that stop someone's face, voice, or other identifying traits from being copied or used without permission, especially by generative AI tools that can produce realistic deepfakes. Enterprises face growing exposure here through marketing content, executive impersonation in fraud schemes, and employee or talent images used to train or prompt AI systems. Compliance teams need to track the expanding patchwork of right-of-publicity statutes, consent requirements, and new laws such as Denmark's proposed rights over one's own voice and likeness.
