Governing Generative AI Across Borders: A Comparative Research Concept on Voice Identity, Creative Rights, Transparency, and Inclusive Innovation

Generative artificial intelligence is reshaping cultural production, identity authentication, education, and public accountability. This proposed comparative study examines how governance frameworks address synthetic voice replication, consent, attribution, traceability, remedy, and equitable access to AI innovation. The research will compare legal and policy instruments in nine jurisdictions: the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Canada, and South Africa. It will develop an analytical framework for evaluating protections, identify implementation gaps, and propose practical governance indicators.
