Actors Demand Voice Rights as Anthropic Wins Court Battle

Actors including Matt Lucas, Hugh Bonneville and Nicola Coughlan have written to UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham demanding legislation giving every person legal ownership of their voice, amid growing concerns over AI voice cloning. Meanwhile, a US federal judge ruled that Trump administration sanctions against Anthropic were unlawful, finding the government had illegally punished the AI firm for criticising the Pentagon. Elsewhere, over 100 companies including OpenAI, Google and Microsoft have signed an open letter warning of a limited window to strengthen cyber defences against rising AI-enabled attacks. London robotaxi rollouts face further delays due to regulatory hurdles, and Netflix UK revenues have surpassed ITV for the first time, topping two billion pounds.
