Binding law — in force
Performers' image and voice, AI results included, only with express consent; AI cloning only by prior written agreement (Mexico, LFDA Arts. 87, 121)
From 2026-05-15, Mexico's Federal Copyright Law (LFDA) as reformed (DOF 2026-05-14) provides that the image, including the voice, of performers and their characters may be used or published only with their express consent or that of their representatives or rightholders, a protection that covers results generated by AI systems or any other technology (Art. 87); performers may oppose the impersonation of their performances by AI systems that generate clones or identifiably simulate their voice (Art. 118 VII); and any cloning or impersonation of voice or image with AI requires a prior written agreement between the parties (Art. 121). Parody, satire and creative imitation that do not mislead or replace the performer are exempt. Detect a voice-cloning or face-swap call with no consent or release check.
