AI, Hollywood, and the Law That Can't Keep Up

AI can now clone a person's voice, face, and entire on-screen persona — often without their permission, and without any clear law saying it can't. IP litigation partner Chris Mammen breaks down how AI-generated "digital replicas" are reshaping Hollywood, why celebrities like Scarlett Johansson, Taylor Swift, and Matthew McConaughey are fighting back, and what the proposed NO FAKES Act would actually change.

This isn't just a Hollywood problem. If AI can convincingly clone a celebrity's voice without consent, it can clone yours too — which is exactly the kind of threat security teams need to understand as deepfakes and voice cloning become tools for fraud and social engineering.
