Hey, everyone! Pretty new here and first time posting.
I have some questions regarding two odd scenarios. Let's assume there is no AI takeover to the Yudkowsky-nth degree and that AGI and ASI goes just fine. (Yes, that's are already a very big ask).
Scenario 1: Hyper-Realistic Humanoid Robots
Let's say AGI helps us get technology that allows for the creation of humanoid robots that are visually indistinguishable from real humans. While the human form is suboptimal for a lot of tasks, I'd imagine that people still want them for a number of reasons. If there's significant market demand for such robots:
Would each robot face need to be unique from existing humans to avoid infringing on the likeness rights of existing humans?
Are celebrity faces or the faces of public figures protected in a way that would prevent their replication in robotic form?
How might current copyright law, which typically applies to creative works, extend to the realm of robotics and AI?
Scenario 2: Full-Dive Virtual Reality Simulations
Now, let's say further in the future, ASI helps us create full-dive virtual reality technology, allowing users to experience Matrix-level realistic simulations:
If someone wants to simulate living in present-day Beverly Hills, complete with celebrity encounters, what are the legal implications of including accurate representations of these public figures?
In a more personal use case, if an individual wishes to re-experience their childhood or high school years in VR, would they legally need permission from every person who was part of their life to include them in the simulation?
How might we balance the right to one's own memories and experiences with the privacy and likeness rights of others?
Curious to learn about everyone's thoughts on the matter.
