it House News on May 19, according to the New York Times, two American voice actors, Paul Skye Lehrman and Linnea Sage, recently claimed that the AI startup Lovo "copied" their voices without their permission. , and filed a lawsuit against the company.
The cause of the incident was that the two of them listened to a podcast while driving last summer. The content was "The Rise of AI" and talked about the threat that AI would pose to the lives of writers, actors and other people in the entertainment industry. In this episode, the host "interviewed" a chatbot named poe, whose voice sounded like Paul's original voice.

paul said that the scene at that time was like the host interviewing "himself", and "himself" was talking to the audience about the dangers of AI and its potential impact on the entertainment industry. "We pulled over and sat there in disbelief. We were trying to figure out what was going on and what we should have done."
Two people claim that lovo, a startup in Berkeley, California, illegally used their sound to create techniques that "compete" with their sound works. Not only Paul, but Linnea also found that her voice was used to train AI.
In a lawsuit filed this week in Manhattan federal court, the couple said anonymous lovo employees invited them to provide some voice clips from 2019 and 2020 without disclosing how the clips would be used. At that time, an anonymous person contacted Linnea and paid her $400 to record several broadcasts, explaining that the recordings would not be used for public purposes, according to letters cited in the lawsuit. Paul said, "We want to take back control of our voices, our identities, and our careers." A lawyer representing
lovo denied the claims in the lawsuit. "If the user agrees to provide the recording to lovo, then there is no problem."
