The Japanese Actors' Union has released guidelines on AI voice usage. Voice actor Goku from Dragon Ball Z angrily criticized the unauthorized use of his voice by AI.

Several voice actors have already faced issues with their voices being misused. Former voice actor Kintaro Tsuda previously sued a relevant platform. The newly released guidelines require that any replication of a voice for AI training must obtain the subject's consent and provide compensation. This marks Japan's first set of industry standards for AI voice technology.
