Amber George, who worked with Fred’s for 14 years, claims the unauthorized use of her likeness and voice violates her rights and professional dignity. The lawsuit accuses the defendants of exploiting her past work, including repurposing old footage and creating videos from stills. George says she was betrayed after rejecting an AI-use addendum to her contract and was offered no compensation for the unauthorized use. The defendants argue they only used AI for minor, authorized updates like pricing changes and didn’t recreate her image or voice. While legal tensions remain, both sides express hope for a settlement, suggesting the dispute may be resolved without trial—but the core issue of AI’s ethical and legal boundaries in advertising is still unresolved.
