美国配音演员声称人工智能公司非法复制他们的声音
Two voice actors have filed a lawsuit against AI startup Lovo in Manhattan federal court, alleging that the company illegally copied their voices for use in its AI voiceover technology without permission. Paul Skye Lehrman and Linnea Sage claim Lovo tricked them into providing voice samples under false pretences and is now selling AI versions of their voices. They seek at least $5 million in damages for the proposed class-action suit, accusing Lovo of fraud, false advertising, and violating their publicity rights.
两名配音演员在曼哈顿联邦法院对人工智能公司Lovo提起诉讼，指控该公司未经许可非法复制他们的声音用于其人工智能配音技术。Paul Skye Lehrman和Linnea Sage声称 Lovo以虚假借口欺骗他们提供语音样本，销售着使用了他们声音的AI产品。他们以集体诉讼指控Lovo欺诈、虚假广告并侵犯其公开权，提出至少500万美元的赔偿。
The actors were approached via the freelance platform Fiverr for voiceover work, with Lehrman being told his voice would be used for a research project and Sage for test scripts for radio ads. However, Lehrman later discovered AI versions of his voice in YouTube videos and podcasts, while Sage found her voice in Lovo’s promotional materials. It was revealed that their Fiverr clients were actually Lovo employees, and the company was selling their voices under pseudonyms.
两个演员是在自由职业平台Fiverr上被联系，需要他们配合配音工作，Lehrman是被告知他的声音将会用于一个研究项目，而Sage的声音将用于广播广告的测试脚本。然而，Lehrman后来在YouTube视频和播客中发现了他声音的AI版本，而Sage在Lovo的宣传材料中发现了她的声音。据透露，找到他们的Fiverr上的客户实际上是Lovo的员工，该公司正在以化名出售他们的声音。
The mentioned lawsuit adds to the growing list of legal actions against tech companies for allegedly misusing content to train AI systems. Lehrman and Sage seek to prevent similar misuse of voices by Lovo and other companies, emphasising the need for accountability in the AI industry. Lovo has not yet responded to the allegations.
上述诉讼进一步增加了科技公司涉嫌滥用内容来训练AI系统的法律诉讼清单。Lehrman和Sage认为需要防止Lovo和其他公司类似地滥用声音，强调AI行业需要问责制。目前Lovo尚未对这些指控做出回应。
