A group of 26 Japanese voice actors have formed a group against the unauthorized use of generative AI. The group, No More Unauthorized Generative AI<\/a> (\u201cNo More Mudan Seisei AI\u201d), has drawn attention to the issue of AI voice models that mimic certain actors but have been trained and distributed without the actors\u2019 or copyright holders\u2019 permission. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The No More Unauthorized Generative AI campaign launched on October 21, but prior to that, a short video released on YouTube on October 15 drew attention to the campaign, amassing over 87,000 views. In the video, veteran actor Ryuusei Nakao explains that \u201cMy voice was being sold without my permission. I was shocked. Our voices are the tools of our trade, our lives.\u201d Nakao\u2019s seven decades in the industry include voicing Frieza in Dragon Ball and Mayuri Kurotsuchi in Bleach.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
