Summary
AI voice and face cloning is exposing gaping legal holes in the UK, where outdated laws fail to protect individuals from unauthorized use of their likeness—while Europe moves ahead with stronger personality rights.

A global reckoning is underway—will the UK catch up before it’s too late? Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
