If people's voices become copyright protected in the future as a response to AI, will any non-commercial uses of voices be affected as well?

Title. And this will also affect non-AI imitations of voices?
You're viewing a single thread.
It is hygge to read about Denmark doing good work in this area.
The proposal establishes legal definitions for unauthorized digital reproductions, specifically targeting “very realistic digital representation of a person, including their appearance and voice.”
Creative works such as parody and satirical content remain exempt from these restrictions.
Does this only affect digital reproductions? Because it's sometimes easy to reproduce someone's else voice especially if you are a voice actor. And what if you happen to have a voice almost identical to another person?

Is that widespread? My impression is that misrepresentation through fake likeness has exploded from AI generated deepfakes?

Then you have the right to your voice and they have the right to their voice. If neither uses the likeness for misrepresentation or other nefarious means then nothing will come of it. If either do there are probably already possibilities within current legal frameworks to prosecute.

Voice imitations without AI are possible if you are skilled enough, but using AI is much easier because you can use recordings of people's voices directly rather than trying to imitate the voices yourself.
