“Tinkoff” commented on the incident with the alleged illegal use of the voice of the dubbing actress, which he heard in a porn ad. The bank called the information provided by the actress false and noted the terms of the agreement, according to which Tinkoff could do almost anything with this voice.
The Tinkoff press service announced its position on the situation with the accusation of illegal use of the voice by the dubbing actress. The information provided is not true, Tinkoff told RB.RU.
On Thursday, August 31, it was learned that dubbing actress Alena Andronova filed a lawsuit against Tinkoff for allegedly publishing her voice synthesis against the terms of the contract and selling it to third-party companies.

Andronova also pointed out that the contract concluded with her did not provide for the synthesis of her speech and the bank’s right to use her voice for non-corporate purposes.
Tinkoff emphasized that the terms of the contract were such that the bank had the right to process, make changes, reduce and supplement the work done by the actress.
“At the same time, the contract with Alena directly provided for her consent to the use and processing of records by third parties. Therefore, the bank has the right to use Alena’s voice recordings by any means, including for training neural networks,” they said in the bank’s press service.
In 2022, users of the Tinkoff open service used Alena’s voice “in bad faith and in violation of the rules” to create voice robots. Tinkoff blocked these users, the bank claimed.
Tinkoff added that the actress was offered compensation, but she disagreed with the proposed amount.
