Here is a great example of what I call an "ethically-sourced AI clone", where there is a real, consenting person (or estate) behind it, who has control over how their AI assets are being used -with compensation, as appropriate. It's also critical that AI clones are transparent. This can be explicit or implicit, depending on the demands of the context. In the case of ElevenLabs' "Iconic Voices" product, that resurrects the voices of deceased talent, it is contextually understood that they did not really say these things. In light of certain AI music companies currently being sued for use artists' assets without license, this launch is especially well-timed, and puts Elevenlabs in the bucket of companies that big brands will want to - and that will be allowed - to work with. Companies that set these legal, ethical precedents will help shape the new compliance standards for the age of AI, and position themselves well. Doing it the right way is not just good for people, but good for business.

Completely agree, Natalie Monbiot! This is a fantastic breakdown of what makes an "ethically-sourced AI clone." Transparency and consent are crucial, and ElevenLabs' approach sets a great example. Love the point about legal and ethical precedents shaping the future of AI - doing things right is a win-win!
We love to see the 4 C’s in action. (Consent, Control, Credit, Compensation).
This is very exciting.
Love this!
