- Cate Blanchett, actor and leader of RSL Media, has introduced the Human Consent Registry aimed at protecting individual identities in the age of AI.
- The registry allows US and EU residents to create records dictating how AI systems may use their likeness.
- Users fill out a form providing details and set consent levels: Prohibited, Permitted with Terms, or Permitted.
- The registry provides a Human Consent ID that AI can reference to determine the use of a person’s likeness.
- The registry focuses on name, image, likeness, voice, movement, and personal attributes, with plans to expand to Work, Characters, and Marks.
- There is currently no enforcement for AI companies to comply with the registry’s consent levels, and users are sharing personal data with a third-party.
- The registry builds on the Really Simple Licensing (RSL) standard for establishing AI usage rights and licensing terms for content.
