Berkeley Startup Accused of Stealing Actors’ Voices to Create AI Generator
Lovo, a Berkeley-based AI startup, was accused in a lawsuit Thursday of stealing actors' voices to create an AI generator.
Lovo charges a monthly subscription fee to use its AI voice generator, which can be used to make ads, corporate training videos, product demos, or for customer service applications. The company also advertises that its tool can be used to mimic celebrity voices, though only “for personal entertainment purposes.” The site features demos meant to sound like Ariana Grande, Barack Obama, Conan O’Brien and others. The suit alleges that Lehrman and Sage’s voices were used to create AI clones, identified on Lovo’s site as “Kyle Snow” and “Sally Coleman,” which users could select for their projects.
