- [confirms] Giorgia Meloni files her voice as a European Union trademark to block AI clones (2026-10-07): Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni filed a four-second recording of 'Io sono Giorgia Meloni' as a trademark at the EU Intellectual Property Office to block AI voice clones. If granted, it would apply in all 27 member states. A sitting head of government turning her voice into registered property is a major test case that other public figures can copy.
