George Clooney, Tom Hanks, and Meryl Streep back new ‘Human Consent Standard’ for AI licensing
Summary
Prominent Hollywood figures including George Clooney, Tom Hanks, and Meryl Streep are supporting the new 'Human Consent Standard.' Developed by the nonprofit RSL Media, cofounded by Cate Blanchett, this initiative allows individuals to set explicit permissions regarding the use of their likeness, creative works, and character designs by AI systems. The standard operates through a soon-to-launch registry where rights holders can define terms, which AI crawlers can then detect to determine if content usage requires compensation or permission. This move aims to provide a scalable, practical solution for artists and the general public to protect their digital identities against unauthorized AI training and generation.
