Realistic-sounding interpretations of artists can both mimic voices and use an artist\u2019s music to create new content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Specifically, the law established protections for artists\u2019 voices and created a state civil action against those who illegally use it without permission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s unclear how effective the protections could be, given the mostly unregulated and quickly developing nature of artificial intelligence. The industry has also garnered attention from Congress, which has long debated how to regulate the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The law adds to the state\u2019s strong image and likeness protections, passed in 1984 amidst legal chaos following the death of Elvis Presley, sparking the nod in the 2024 bill\u2019s title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tennessee became the first state to protect its residents\u2019 voice rights on Thursday when Gov.
