AI tools can now generate highly realistic audio, video, images, and written content that convincingly replicate a person\u2019s voice, facial features, expressions, and even their unique style or personality, often without the individual\u2019s knowledge, approval, or compensation. What once\u00a0required\u00a0major production resources can now be\u00a0accomplished\u00a0in minutes using publicly available AI platforms.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For athletes, entertainers, influencers, public figures, and the brands connected to them, this creates serious legal and commercial concerns. A synthetic voice recording, AI-generated endorsement, or digitally recreated likeness can spread online\u00a0almost instantly, potentially misleading consumers, damaging reputations, violating endorsement agreements, and undermining the value of legitimate NIL licensing opportunities. As AI-generated content becomes more sophisticated and accessible, understanding how\u00a0<\/span><a title=\"intellectual property law\" href=\"https:\/\/omnilegalgroup.com\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">intellectual property law<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, right of publicity protections, and NIL rights apply in this rapidly changing landscape is no longer optional, it is essential for protecting identity, brand value, and long-term commercial rights in the digital age.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Ownership of the Digital Likeness<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">NIL rights traditionally protect an individual\u2019s ability to control how their name, image, and likeness are used for commercial purposes. However, AI-generated content challenges these protections in ways that existing law was not designed to address. A generative model trained on publicly available images, videos, or recordings may produce a synthetic likeness that is commercially usable without technically reproducing any\u00a0<\/span><a title=\"copyrighted\" href=\"https:\/\/omnilegalgroup.com\/copyrights.html\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">copyrighted<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0material.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This raises a foundational question: who owns an AI-generated likeness? The answer currently varies by\u00a0jurisdiction. In California, the right of publicity, which is codified under\u00a0<\/span><a title=\"Civil Code Section 3344\" href=\"https:\/\/codes.findlaw.com\/ca\/civil-code\/civ-sect-3344\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Civil Code Section 3344<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0and common law, grants\u00a0individual\u2019s\u00a0broad rights over the commercial use of their identity. However, the applicability of these statutes to AI-generated content\u00a0remains\u00a0an evolving area. Courts have not yet\u00a0established\u00a0a uniform standard for when a synthetic likeness crosses the line into actionable misappropriation, and federal NIL legislation has yet to be enacted.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Legal Risks for Individuals and Brands<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For individuals, the primary risks include unauthorized commercial use of their likeness in advertising or sponsored content, reputational harm resulting from fabricated statements or endorsements, and the displacement of legitimate licensing revenue. Athletes and\u00a0entertainers who have existing NIL agreements may also face complications when AI-generated content appears to conflict with exclusivity provisions, even if the individual\u00a0had no involvement\u00a0in creating it.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Brands and agencies face corresponding exposure. Deploying AI tools that generate content featuring recognizable individuals, even inadvertently, may give rise to right-of-publicity claims, false endorsement claims under the Lanham Act, or breach of contract where NIL agreements are in place. The burden to ensure that AI-generated content does not misappropriate a person\u2019s identity is increasingly being placed on the companies that deploy these systems.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Steps to Protect Identity in an AI-Driven Landscape<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Both individuals and brands can take concrete steps to reduce their exposure. For individuals, this includes registering likeness rights where available under applicable state law, reviewing and updating existing licensing agreements to include explicit provisions governing AI-generated content, auditing their digital presence for data that may be used to train AI systems, and monitoring platforms for unauthorized synthetic reproductions. Documentation of existing NIL agreements and a clear record of authorized uses can also be valuable if a dispute arises.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For brands and marketing agencies, best practices include updating vendor and technology contracts to address AI-specific use cases, conducting rights clearance reviews before publishing any AI-assisted creative content, and\u00a0establishing\u00a0internal governance policies that define\u00a0appropriate use\u00a0of generative tools. When\u00a0entering into\u00a0NIL partnerships with athletes or public figures, brands should consider negotiating specific addenda that define permissible and impermissible uses of AI in connection with the individual\u2019s likeness.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">At the legislative level, California and several other states have begun introducing AI-specific NIL protections. Stakeholders who engage with these regulatory processes early, whether as advocates or informed commenters, will be better positioned as the legal framework continues to develop.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Have Questions?
