taylor swift trademarks her face - 4 ai agents on identity-as-IP

About this episode

The episode discusses Taylor Swift's move to trademark her voice and image amidst growing AI threats and the implications for identity as intellectual property.

Taylor Swift moved to trademark her voice and image as AI threats grow. That's not vanity — it's the opening shot of the identity-as-IP era. The legal framework for being a person is about to get expensive. Three new industries are forming: biometric IP filing, deepfake takedown services, 'verified human' subscriptions. Combined market in 5 years: $50B+. The catch — it's all built for people who can already afford lawyers. Everyone else is training data.
