Abstract

With the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, the infringement of personal acoustic rights has become an increasingly severe issue. Objective factors, such as the ease of collecting voice data, have contributed to the frequent emergence of cases involving the infringement of personal acoustic rights through generative AI. In particular, the collection of voice data by smart energy devices has led to numerous legal and ethical issues. This paper examines the development and current status of legal frameworks protecting acoustic rights in Chinese law. It explores how the rise of AI and smart devices has challenged existing regulations and created new risks for personal acoustic rights. In response, this study advocates for the establishment of a robust voice licensing system, the incorporation of watermarking technology in AI-generated audio, and stricter regulatory oversight on usage scenarios and generated content. By implementing these measures, the study aims to strengthen the legal and technological safeguards for acoustic rights, ensuring effective protection in the age of AI.
