25 French Voice Actors Win Case After Their Voices Were Stolen by American AI

Original French (Rephrased):

Pendant plusieurs mois, les voix de célébrités comme Harrison Ford, Angelina Jolie, Sandra Bullock et Richard Gere, doublées par des professionnels français, ont été reproduites et utilisées sans leur consentement. Ces voix, qui représentent des années de travail et d’expertise pour ces doubleurs, étaient vendues sans autorisation ni compensation sur des plateformes d’intelligence artificielle basées aux États-Unis. Un groupe de 25 doubleurs français a finalement remporté une victoire juridique significative dans cette affaire, affirmant leurs droits sur leur propriété vocale.
