Matthew McConaughey uses the catchphrase “All clear, all clear, all clear” to combat AI fakes

Academy Award-winning actor Matthew McConaughey has trademarked his image and voice – including his famous catchphrase “All clear, all clear, all clear” from the film “Dazed and Confused” to prevent unauthorized use by artificial intelligence.

The Wall Street Journal reported that McConaughey has had eight separate applications approved by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in recent weeks, including clips of the actor standing on a porch and sitting in front of a tree, as well as an audio clip in which he says, “All right, all right, all right.”

In a statement, the actor said: “My team and I want to know that if my voice or likeness is ever used, it will only be because I consented and consented to it. We want to create a clear framework around ownership, with consent and attribution being the norm in an AI world.”
