Experienced intellectual property lawyer Peter Afrasiabi discusses the current controversy involving Scarlett Johansson and Open AI plus the “miracle” technology that allowed Val Kilmer to regain his speaking voice, while reviewing the key right of publicity and copyright laws and court decisions that govern the creation of lookalikes and soundalikes.
