Tom Graham, CEO of Metaphysic, is making history today by filing for copyright registration of his realistic AI likeness with the U.S. Copyright Office, potentially paving the way for individuals to gain ownership and control of their AI likeness and biometric data. The revolutionary effort signals the growing need to create a secure online environment for AI content and personal data, with individuals at the forefront of protecting their identity, performance and brand from intrusions.
To prepare for the registration, Graham recorded himself for three minutes on a mobile phone to capture his biometric data, image and voice. Metaphysic then used its hyperreal AI tools to generate an AI likeness that accurately captured Graham’s current likeness. After working with the Metaphysic team to perfect the AI representation, Graham merged the AI model into a video to create the hyperrealistic AI version of himself.
Metaphysic is a company specializing in generative AI that has become a mainstay in Hollywood. As the official AI partner for Miramax’s upcoming film “Here” and a strategic collaboration with Creative Artists Agency (CAA), the cutting-edge technology that Metaphysic has provided has made it a top choice for industry professionals. The team of machine learning researchers and generative AI pioneers works to create a secure web 3 economy which allows individuals to own and manage their biometric data.
By registering his copyrighted AI likeness, Graham seeks to provide a framework for other individuals and public figures to follow in order to protect themselves from unauthorized AI impersonations. Additionally, Metaphysic reinforces the notion that data ownership and privacy should remain up to the individual. While this registration procedure opens new possibilities, the company reminds the public to remain informed and educated on how evolving laws regarding AI could impact the rights of individuals.
An advocate for using AI for good, Graham has become a recognizable name in the industry for his notorious @DeepTomCruise channel as well as his appearances on AGT. By taking this step, he strives to set a precedent for technology by highlighting the importance of individual rights and data protection. His actions introduce an expanding conversation surrounding AI, and the increasing difficulty to differentiate between reality and computer-generated media.
