Mitigation strategy
1. Mandate comprehensive legal releases and explicit contractual consent from individuals for any commercial exploitation of their personal identity, including name, image, likeness, or voice, ensuring the scope of use is precisely delineated and corresponds to the authorization granted, thus mitigating the risk of misappropriation of personality. 2. Implement technical controls and rigorous auditing protocols within generative AI models to prevent the unintended replication or synthesis of identifiable personas from training data, coupled with output verification mechanisms that minimize the risk of producing unauthorized mock-ups or deepfakes for commercial purposes. 3. Establish a clear governance structure and a culture of compliance, which includes mandatory, recurring training for all relevant personnel (e.g., marketing, legal, engineering) on the evolving statutory and common law doctrines of personality rights, ensuring human oversight is maintained as the final determinant for the deployment of AI-generated content.
