Meloni seeks EU trademark for her voice to combat AI deepfakes

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has filed a trademark application for her voice with the European Union Intellectual Property Office. The move aims to legally protect against AI-generated clones and deepfakes that have circulated online for years. The application, dated October 5, covers a four-second audio recording of Meloni repeating the phrase 'Io sono Giorgia Meloni.' This legal step follows a series of incidents involving sexually suggestive AI-manipulated images and videos of the prime minister, including a civil case in 2024 and new images in May 2026.

Tajani’s 'Long Skirt' Remarks Trigger International Backlash and Senate Protest

Italy's Earthquakes Linked to Crust 'Unzipping' Rather Than Plate Collision

New research indicates that seismic activity in Italy's Apennine Mountains is primarily driven by the peeling away of the lower crust into the mantle, a process known as delamination, rather than traditional plate subduction. This 'unzipping' mechanism explains the region's complex mix of compression and extension, with implications for understanding similar tectonic transitions elsewhere.
