Earlier this week, the Delhi High Court of India passed an interim order on the lawsuit filed by the seasoned actor Anil Kapoor through his lawyer Ameet Naik, for protection of his personality rights including name, image, likeness, voice and other attributes, against any misuse including on digital media.<\/p>\n

In the order, the court protected Kapoor\u2019s rights in all modes and media across the world and restrained all offenders from misusing the actor\u2019s personality attributes without his permission.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the landmark judgement, Kapoor told a foreign-based media outlet, \u201cI\u2019m very happy with this court order, which has come in my favour, and I think it\u2019s very progressive and great for not only me but for other actors also.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u2018Race\u2019<\/em> actor continued, \u201cBecause of the way the AI technology, which is evolving every day [and] which can completely take advantage of and be misused commercially, as well as where my image, voice, morphing, GIFs and deep fakes are concerned, I can straight away \u2013 if that happens \u2013 send a court order and injunction and they have to pull it down.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not only for me. Today, I\u2019m there to protect myself, but when I\u2019m not there, the family should have the right to protect my [personality] and gain from it in future. My intention is not to interfere with anyone\u2019s freedom of expression or to penalize anyone. My intent was to seek protection of my personality rights and prevent any misuse for commercial gains, particularly in the current scenario with rapid changes in technology and tools like artificial intelligence,\u201d Kapoor explained.<\/p>\n

It is pertinent to mention that the use of AI to profit from an actor\u2019s image or personality, is a key point of contention in the SAG-AFTRA strike and Kapoor pledges his support to his fellow actors. \u201cI am always, completely with them in every which way, and I feel their rights should be protected, because everybody, big, small, popular, not popular \u2013 every actor has the right to protect themselves,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis [the court order] should be great positive news for all of them to a certain extent.\u201d<\/p>\n
