Google adds avatar sharing: recipients can make AI content with your likeness and voice
The policy now describes sharing an avatar with other Google users, who can then create AI content featuring your likeness or voice without your control over what they generate. You can stop sharing, but content already made is not deleted. A line about viewing, editing and deleting Memory summaries was also added.
Taken from you
- Control over AI content others generate with your likeness/voice once you share your avatar
- Ability to delete content recipients already created after you stop sharing
- Recipients cannot be stopped from keeping previously generated content
Won back
- Ability to revoke avatar sharing at any time
- Recipients cannot access or edit/delete your original likeness recording
