Mississippi AI Identity Bill Would Protect Right to One’s Own Likeness, Voice A bill that would give Mississippians legal protections over their name, likeness and voice has advanced in the Mississippi Senate.

β€œThat may not sound like a lot to an average person … but it’s a big deal to say that you own your name, you own your image, own your voice, and a lot of the laws say specifically you own it as intellectual property,” said Billy Newman, an associate teaching professor of legal studies at USM.

I will accept no Jimmie slander. The GOAT can do whatever he wants, including losing it all by himself.

I love long-form journalism that goes deep on one topic, bite-by-digestible-bite.

This is the way we can understand not only the β€˜why is this happening’ but also the β€˜what do we do now?’

The Joker card from a playing deck with a sketch of a pelican on it in a clip stand on a table. The backs of two chairs are directly behind that and a white tiled wall with a shelf with bottles on it is behind the chairs.
