Taylor Swift Moves to Trademark Her Voice as AI Concerns Grow
Taylor Swift has taken action to protect her voice as concerns over AI generated content continue to grow.
The pop star filed trademark applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, targeting specific voice recordings. The clips feature her introducing herself and promoting her album The Life of a Showgirl, released in early October.
Her move highlights growing fears among artistes as technology makes it easier to replicate voices using only short audio samples.
Actor Matthew McConaughey has taken a similar step, seeking protection for his voice and signature phrases.
At the same time, legal battles have already begun. In 2023, Scarlett Johansson sued an app over the alleged use of her likeness without consent.
As AI tools advance, performers continue to call for stronger safeguards to protect their identity and work.
