French Actors Demand Stronger AI Protections

About 4,000 French actors, including Berenice Bejo, Swan Arlaud and Léa Drucker, signed an open letter unveiled by Le Parisien today condemning an "organized plundering" by AI tools and urging urgent political action. Backed by performers' rights group Adami, they cite unauthorized voice cloning, image scraping, and low-value AI licensing—including one actor offered €250 for his image—and demand national protections absent from the EU AI Act.
Key Points
