A new initiative in the State Duma.
A draft law has been submitted to the State Duma, a bill that establishes the protection of a person's voice as an object of personal non-property rights of a citizen by analogy with an image, including in cases of imitation of the voice or by generating it by artificial intelligence (AI).
Among the authors of the initiative are Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Constitutional Legislation Andrei Klishas, Deputy Chairman of the Council for the Development of the Digital Economy Artem Sheikin, as well as State Duma deputy Natalia Kuvshinova. The document is registered in the database of the lower house of parliament under the number No 718834-8.
The need to amend the legislation is due to the rapid development of speech synthesis technologies and the increasing cases of their unfair use. Modern AI systems, learning from audio recordings of a person's real voice, are able to create its exact imitations. At the same time, the generated recordings can be used without the permission of the voice owner, since there is no requirement to obtain consent in the current legislation.
The explanatory note to the bill states that as a result of such actions, the right of a citizen to independently decide how to dispose of his own voice recordings, including for the purpose of using them to create products based on speech synthesis technologies, is violated.
Within the framework of the project, it is proposed to supplement Part 1 of the Civil Code of Russia with a new Article 152. The amendments will eliminate the gap in the legal regulation of the citizen's vote and enshrine the principles of its use only with the consent of the voter, except for the established exceptions.
