Kenjiro Tsuda, the voice actor known for characters like Seto Kaiba in Yu-Gi-Oh! and Kento Nanami in Jujutsu Kaisen, is taking legal action against TikTok. He claims the platform is allowing artificial intelligence to copy his voice and use it in numerous videos without his permission.
Artificial intelligence has quickly become common in our daily routines over the past year. It’s now helping with simple jobs at work and is even appearing in things like home appliances.
Many creative professionals are worried about the growing use of artificial intelligence, particularly because AI is often using their image and style to create new content. This affects a wide range of people, including athletes, actors, and online creators.
Kenjiro Tsuda, a well-known Japanese voice actor, is taking legal action against TikTok. An account was using his voice without permission in hundreds of videos to generate revenue, leading to the lawsuit.
Yu-Gi-Oh voice actor suing TikTok
Kenjiro Tsuda, famous for voicing characters like Seto Kaiba in Yu-Gi-Oh and Kento Nanami in Jujutsu Kaisen, first sued TikTok in November through the Tokyo District Court.
According to Automaton, the lawsuit surfaced on May 23rd, detailing the voice actor’s claims. His lawyers stated that a single account features nearly 200 videos using his voice.
The creators claim someone used artificial intelligence to copy his voice without his consent, and that the videos featuring the AI-generated voice have earned between $3,100 and $4,700.
So, TikTok is fighting back against this lawsuit! They’re basically saying the voice being used in those videos isn’t actually Tsuda’s, just a pretty standard, everyday male voice. They’re asking the courts to throw the whole case out because of that – they don’t think they’ve done anything wrong.
Several platforms are now taking steps to prevent AI from using someone’s image or voice without their permission. For example, YouTube has launched tools that let public figures request the removal of videos using their likeness.
Japanese companies are now asking job applicants to demonstrate they haven’t used AI tools like ChatGPT when submitting applications.
