## Resource

Nigerian-Australian model Elii Emeghebo is suing fashion label Peter Jackson Australia over AI-altered ads that erased his identity, creating a “white twin” version of himself — a move he says was racially motivated and unpaid. The brand denies bias, claiming full payment and that the AI image was a separate creative project. Emeghebo’s legal team argues humans control AI prompts and that his original contract didn’t cover this unauthorized use — demanding compensation. The case exposes a legal gap in Australia, where no laws currently protect models from AI image manipulation, sparking calls for new legislation. As AI reshapes advertising, Emeghebo’s fight could set a global precedent for racial equity and digital rights in fashion.
