Abstract

In the virtual realm, human rights face vulnerability, particularly with intangible rights such as the right to own the voice, which lacks tangible representation in the physical world. The increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) intensifies the challenge of protecting virtual rights, as there is currently no established legal or technical defense against violations, especially concerning voice ownership. Our proposed solution employs blockchain technology and smart contracts, forming the Virtual Me system. This innovative system attributes the original voice to its rightful owner, mitigating violations and unauthorized usage. What sets our solution apart is its pioneering role in providing a technical foundation for safeguarding virtual human rights. The system aligns with the requirements of virtual human rights ownership, ensuring comprehensive protection and registration for their original owners.
