Consent Isn’t Optional: Why I’m Partnering with Official AI

Last week, I came across a viral TikTok video that honestly left me speechless. A creator discovered that a brand had used her face, voice, and persona to create an AI-generated podcast. She was “speaking” in it - joking, sharing thoughts, having full conversations - without ever giving her consent. 

It was unsettling. Not just as someone working in this space but as someone who navigates the digital world every day. This is the kind of thing that makes people afraid of AI, and rightfully so. When your likeness - your identity - can be replicated and used without your permission, where does that leave us?

That’s why I’m excited to work with Official AI.

Because Your Likeness Is Yours - No exceptions

To me, my voice, my image, and my presence aren’t just content - they’re mine. And I believe wholeheartedly that nobody should be able to use your likeness to generate anything unless you’ve said yes.

Official AI gets that. Their platform is built on permission-first technology - meaning nothing gets created unless you approve it. Through their Vault system, you can upload your image, protect it, and decide exactly how it’s used - and get paid for it.

No weird loopholes. No shady licensing agreements. No surprises.

The Problem Isn’t AI - It’s How It’s Used

I don’t think AI is inherently bad. In fact, it has so much potential to amplify creativity and open new doors. But it has to be used ethically - with transparency, consent, and genuine human respect.

Official AI isn’t just building tech. They’re building a different kind of relationship between people and machines - one that puts humans first.

Empowering, Not Replacing

I’ve never seen AI as a replacement for talent. I see it as a tool that can help us grow, reach more people, and create new kinds of opportunities - but only if we’re in control.

That’s what this partnership is about for me: reclaiming control of how I show up in the digital world.

To any other creators, artists, or public figures feeling uneasy about where things are going - I see you. I feel it, too. But we don’t have to sit back and accept it.

We can set the standard.
