A Japanese court has ruled that human voices deserve legal protection, in a decision being described as a landmark for the AI era. The ruling could restrict AI systems that clone or imitate people's voices without consent. Observers say it may set a precedent for how voice rights are handled worldwide as voice synthesis technology spreads.
