The Consent Economy: AI Cloning, Artist Identity, and the Deals That Need to Catch Up

Roundtables are topic-led, small-group discussions hosted by our Leads, offering an intimate, peer-to-peer space where participants of all levels — including beginners — can engage, learn, and exchange ideas more directly.

As generative AI makes it trivially easy to clone an artist’s voice or likeness, the entertainment and technology industries are facing a fundamental question: who controls the use of a person's identity in an AI-generated world, and what does meaningful consent actually look like?


This roundtable would explore the emerging commercial and consent frameworks around AI voice and likeness rights, including where existing public policies fall short, what deals are being negotiated right now, and how platforms, labels, studios, and developers can build consent-first approaches.


The roundtable is designed to be practitioner-focused, drawing on participants from across the entertainment and technology spaces.
