Tennessee has become the first state in the United States to pass legislation protecting musicians and artists from the unauthorized use of their voices by artificial intelligence (AI). The newly signed "ELVIS Act" aims to safeguard songwriters, performers, and professionals in the music industry by ensuring that AI tools cannot replicate an artist's voice without their consent. The law also enables legal action against those who publish or perform an artist's voice without permission and addresses the unauthorized use of an artist's name, photographs, voice, or likeness. This move reinforces Tennessee's reputation as a hub for musical talents and a champion of artists' rights.
