In a new development, the realm of artificial intelligence has witnessed a convergence with celebrity rights. Time magazine's recent list of the 100 most influential figures in AI underscores this intersection, featuring Indian actor Anil Kapoor and Hollywood star Scarlett Johansson among the notable names. As per the magazine, Anil Kapoor's inclusion is because of his role in safeguarding celebrity rights in the digital age. Last year, the Delhi High Court issued a landmark ruling in his favor, restraining the unauthorized use of his name, image, voice, and signature catchphrase for commercial gain. The court's decision marked a significant victory for celebrities seeking to protect their intellectual property in an era where deepfakes and AI-generated content have blurred the lines between reality and fiction.
