Taylor Swift Trademarks Voice, Image Amid AI Threat

0:00It's April 29th. This is Entertainment and celebrity news today, AI-powered stories from the spotlight. Taylor Swift is making moves to shield her voice and image from AI copycats. She filed Trademarks with the US-Pedent and Trademark office for sound phrases like, Hey, it's Taylor Swift, and hey, it's Taylor. Plus a visual mark for that iconic shot of her rocking a pink guitar on stage in a shiny bodysuit and silver boots. This comes after her likeness popped up in unauthorized AI chatbots from Metta in nasty defake picks that went viral online. She's not solo in this fight. Matthew McConaughey just trademarked his famous, all right, all right, all right line, for the same reason. Celebs are locking down their brands as AI blurs the lines on who's real. The ripple hits everyone, not just stars, since these tools can mimic any face or voice now. Meanwhile, AI data centers are chugging massive electricity and water, stressing grids everywhere.
