A system for governing authorized creation, deployment, and use of an interactive artificial intelligence (AI) avatar of a real individual, the system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to implement:
- a Licensing & Usage Management System implemented by the one or more processors and configured to operate as an authorization and enforcement layer that, prior to any avatar synthesis, interaction, or the deployment, performs an identity-linked consent evaluation to determine whether a requesting entity is authorized to access or deploy the interactive artificial intelligence (AI) avatar of the real individual, the Licensing & Usage Management System comprising:
- a consent registry storing one or more authorization records associated with the real individual or a designated rights holder, each authorization record specifying at least a permitted usage scope, permitted requesting entities, and temporal or conditional access constraints;
- a license verification engine implemented by the one or more processors and configured to verify a license key and authenticate an identity of the requesting entity, prior to enabling any downstream avatar synthesis, interaction, or rendering operation;
- an audit log implemented by the one or more processors and configured to persistently record each authorization determination, including the identity of the requesting entity, an authorization outcome, a timestamp, and a permitted or denied operation within the permitted usage scope, the audit log being queryable by the real individual or the designated rights holder;
- a Data Ingestion Module implemented by the one or more processors and configured to receive and process multimodal data comprising one or more of photos, videos, audio recordings, written content, and behavioral profiling data, the Data Ingestion Module being operable only upon a prior positive authorization determination by the Licensing & Usage Management System;
- a Personality Modeling Engine implemented by the one or more processors and configured to generate a personality model of the real individual based on the multimodal data, the personality model comprising personality traits, conversational style, decision-making patterns, and emotional tendencies;
- a Voice & Likeness Synthesis Unit implemented by the one or more processors and configured to synthesize a digital voice and visual likeness of the real individual using the personality model and the multimodal data, the Voice & Likeness Synthesis Unit being operable only upon the prior positive authorization determination by the Licensing & Usage Management System;
- an Interaction Module implemented by the one or more processors and configured to enable user interaction with the interactive artificial intelligence (AI) avatar via one or more interfaces selected from the group consisting of text-based interfaces, voice-based interfaces, video-based interfaces, and augmented or virtual reality environments, wherein each interaction session is initiated only after the Licensing & Usage Management System validates session-level authorization;
- and
- a Rendering Engine implemented by the one or more processors and configured to animate the interactive artificial intelligence (AI) avatar in real time using sentiment-driven gestures, facial expressions, and synchronized speech output.
