A bill "On the use of a recording with a human voice generated using artificial intelligence only with his consent" has been submitted to the State Duma for consideration. The initiative establishes the protection of voice as an object of personal non-property rights of a citizen, by analogy with an image.
Artem Sheikin, Deputy Chairman of the Council for the Development of the Digital Economy under the Federation Council, noted that the current legislation in the Russian Federation does not enshrine the right to voice and its protection.
This makes it difficult to use voice in civil legal relations, and the only exceptions are cases when the voice is presented as part of an intellectual property object.
At the same time, the bill provides for situations when such consent of a citizen is not required. For example, if the use of his voice is carried out in public, state or other public interests, or the voice recording was initially made for a fee.
