In other news, the Bombay High Court granted significant relief to Arijit Singh. On July 26, Justice R. I. Chagla issued an interim order restraining eight online platforms from using Singh’s personality rights without consent. This decision came in response to Singh’s petition against the unauthorized use of his voice, image, and other attributes by AI tools. The ruling prohibits generating content through such AI tools and mandates the removal of existing content and voice conversion tools, protecting Singh’s rights and setting a precedent for the protection of celebrities’ digital personas.
