Taylor Swift files to trademark her voice to protect against AI misuse

[TaylorSwift 161,978]

Taylor Swift has taken a new legal step seemingly aimed at protecting her identity in the age of AI 

On Friday, April 24, Swift’s company filed three trademark applications with the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office. Two relate to sound trademarks covering her voice: one is “Hey, it’s Taylor Swift,” and the other is “Hey, it’s Taylor.”

The third trademark is a visual trademark covering “a photograph of Taylor Swift holding a pink guitar, with a black strap and wearing a multi-colored iridescent bodysuit with silver boots. She is standing on a pink stage in front of a multi-colored microphone with purple lights in the background.”

Gaga specifically need to do this. It's sickening how many people in this fan base using AI to create fake leaks just for attention

Yea with how weird AI is becoming, I feel like trademarking your voice should be a standard if you are an artist.

Very smart. All artists need to do this! Though it is sad that it is necessary to protect against deep fakes.

Should be the standard tbh. Like, to the point that replicating anyone's voice with AI should be a crime
