Incident 10815 Report
Voice Actor Alleges Unconsented Use of AI-Generated Voice on ScotRail Trains

2025-05-27

Scottish voice actor Gayanne Potter alleges her voice was used without proper consent in ScotRail's AI train announcements. She claims she had agreed to limited use of her voice data by ReadSpeaker but was not informed it would be used in a synthetic voice system called "Iona." ScotRail continues to use the voice, stating the dispute is between Potter and ReadSpeaker.
