As AI clones celebrity voices and creates digital actors, a legal and creative tug-of-war is heating up. Mohit Rajhans joins Shane to dissect the battleground where rights, identity, and innovation collide — and why licensing a voice might become as vital as owning a script.

They explore real-world examples from Michael Caine to AI-generated music, and consider a future where impersonation could become litigation. But Mohit goes further, urging Hollywood to stop playing defense and instead focus on creating better, cheaper, more audience-focused films — possibly led by Canadian AI expertise.

This isn’t just about IP. It’s about the soul of storytelling in a tech-driven world.
