The actor and MEP Eva Maydell revealed RSL Media’s Human Consent Registry at the European Parliament, a tool that lets anyone set the terms on which AI can use their name, face and voice.
The context is disarmingly simple: your face, your voice, your name, treated as property you get to license or withhold.
Cate Blanchett stood in the European Parliament in Brussels and launched a free website that lets anyone do exactly that, telling AI systems how, or whether, they may use a person’s identity.
The tool is called the Human Consent Registry, and it is the first public product from RSL Media, the nonprofit Blanchett co-founded earlier this year alongside Nikki Hexum, Doug Leeds and Eckart Walther.
The launch event was hosted by Bulgarian MEP Eva Maydell, of the European People’s Party, and attended by the director Steven Soderbergh.The 💜 of EU techThe latest rumblings from the EU tech scene, a story from our wise ol' founder Boris, and some questionable AI art.
