AI is already using your face, your voice, your name. The question is not whether you are exposed. The question is whether you own it — or someone else does. SigAux builds the legal and technical infrastructure that puts you in control. Permanently.

The threat

Your likeness is already
being used without you.

For the world's most recognizable talent, AI has created a new class of exposure. Your face is trainable. Your voice is clonable. Your brand is deployable by anyone, for any purpose. The laws to stop this are the strongest they have ever been. Most talent does not have the framework to activate them.

Your likeness, their revenue

Deepfake ads. AI-generated endorsements. Synthetic performances in content you never approved. Someone is monetizing your name and face right now. Without a documented legal framework, your ability to assert a claim is severely limited regardless of how clear the violation is.

Right-of-publicity violations tied to AI content are rising sharply

No IP framework, no claim

California AB 2602, SAG-AFTRA digital replica protections, the NO FAKES Act, the TAKE IT DOWN Act. These laws protect you — but only if your agreements, consent records, and IP structure are built to activate them. The vast majority of talent, at every level, does not have this in place.

The vast majority of talent has no framework in place

Reputation without consent

Fake interviews. Synthetic endorsements. Simulated performances in productions you never signed. The damage to brand relationships and deal-making leverage compounds without a legal defense in place. Removing unauthorized AI content without a legal framework in place routinely takes weeks.

What we do

We build the legal
and technical foundation
for your digital identity.

SigAux is an IP and technology agency purpose-built for the AI era. We document, protect, and deploy your likeness, voice, and personality as a controlled, consent-first, legally defensible asset. Your existing representation handles your career. We handle the infrastructure layer underneath it that your existing representation cannot build.

The foundation

You own the IP. You hold every key. Every deployment requires your sign-off. SigAux operates the infrastructure that makes deployment legally defensible and commercially viable. These are not competing interests. They are complementary layers.

  • i.Legal architecture first, alwaysEvery engagement begins with an IP audit and a custom rights framework. No technology is touched before the legal foundation is in place.
  • ii.You own 100% of everything producedThe models, the outputs, the rights. Perpetual, worldwide, fully assignable. We hold nothing back.
  • iii.We operate the infrastructure, you control the outputProduction, authentication, compliance tracking. Everything runs through our platform. You approve every deployment before anything goes live.

The authorization layer
AI twins have never had.
Patent Pending.

SigAux issues standalone cryptographic authorization certificates to commercial AI twin deployers — a legally defensible credential in the right-of-publicity domain. A pending US patent application covers this authorization layer. The window belongs to whoever moves first.

How value is created

Four distinct
income layers.

Your authorized digital twin is not a one-time deliverable. It is a managed IP asset operating across four distinct commercial channels — each generating income independently, each protected by the legal framework SigAux built at the foundation.

1.

Brand and commercial licensing

Authorized use of your AI twin in brand campaigns, global advertising, e-commerce, and commercial content. Brands pay a licensing fee for each deployment. Rates are set by your team, approved by you, and documented in the framework before any deal is presented.

Per authorized deployment
2.

Production pipeline income

SigAux produces the actual campaign content on its infrastructure. The brand pays a separate production fee directly. Your licensing royalty sits on top of that. One authorized engagement generates two distinct income streams — neither of which requires you to show up on set.

Per campaign
3.

Platform and media licensing

Streaming appearances, gaming integrations, virtual events, international market activations. Your authorized twin can appear in any approved context across any territory — generating licensing income across every channel you choose to open, on the timeline you define.

Ongoing · Multi-market
4.

IP asset appreciation

A documented, legally structured, commercially active digital twin is an IP asset that grows in value as your commercial profile grows. The Khaby Lame acquisition in January 2026 at $975M was built on exactly this model. The asset is the twin — not the channel.

Long-term asset value
The process

Five stages.
One complete handover
of control.

From first confidential conversation to a fully protected, compliant, and commercially active digital identity. We carry every layer of complexity. You carry only the decision to begin.

01 — Consultation

Private discovery

A confidential 60-minute meeting. We map your current exposure, existing agreements, and goals. We confirm whether SigAux is the right structure for your situation. Details of our infrastructure and methods are disclosed under NDA only.

Week 0 · By referral
02 — IP Audit

Rights review

Entertainment counsel reviews your existing contracts and NDA posture. We identify gaps, known or potential violations, and build the remediation plan before a single document is drafted.

Week 1 · Confidential
03 — Legal Build

Your rights framework

AIRMA, right-of-publicity structure, SAG-AFTRA compliance, posthumous rights, takedown protocol, EU and California compliance architecture. Custom-drafted by entertainment IP counsel to your exact situation. No templates.

Week 2–3
04 — Capture

Studio session

A private, single-day session in Los Angeles. Your likeness and voice captured at the fidelity required to produce authorized commercial content that is unmistakably, legally, and technically you. Conducted under NDA, documented for full legal compliance.

Week 4 · Los Angeles
05 — Active

Protection and deployment live

Monitoring is running. Your authorized twin is commercially deployable. Every output carries verified provenance documentation for global compliance. Annual legal review keeps the framework current as law and platforms evolve.

Week 5 onward
Partnership terms

One foundational build.
An infrastructure
that grows with you.

We do not sell a product. We build a partnership and operate the infrastructure underneath it. Every arrangement begins with a custom rights framework. All commercial and fee terms are discussed privately in consultation — not published on a website.

Who we work with

An honest
filter.

SigAux accepts clients selectively. We are not a volume business. We are the partner you want at the table when a nine-figure licensing conversation begins, or when an unauthorized deepfake of you runs globally without consent.

Built for you

  • You are an actor, athlete, musician, or public figure with a recognized name and measurable commercial brand value in any global market.
  • Your likeness or voice has been used — or you have credible reason to believe it will be used — in AI-generated content without your documented consent.
  • You want to control exactly how and where your digital identity appears, with the legal infrastructure to enforce that control permanently.
  • You are interested in generating income from authorized commercial deployment of your AI twin in brand campaigns or other approved contexts.
  • You have existing representation and are ready for a proper engagement to build and activate the framework correctly alongside your current team.

Not the right fit

  • You want a quick-turn content tool without a legal framework underneath it. We build infrastructure, not shortcuts.
  • You want a twin built of anyone other than yourself. We only build what the contracting talent has explicitly, documentably authorized.
  • You are not able to commit to a studio day in Los Angeles in person. The capture session is non-negotiable. Remote capture does not meet our legal documentation standard.
  • You expect results to begin within weeks of signing. The legal build takes the time it takes when done correctly. We do not rush foundations.
  • You want an agency that operates entirely without your approval. Every deployment requires your sign-off. That is not optional — it is your protection.
Questions

What comes up
in the first meeting.

If your question is not here, the consultation is the right place. We would rather give you a precise, candid answer in private than a generic one in writing.

Several, and they are stronger than most talent realizes. California AB 2602 voids any contract purporting to allow AI use of your likeness without a specific, separate written consent with independent legal counsel. AB 1836 extends your digital likeness rights to your estate for 70 years. The federal TAKE IT DOWN Act (May 2025) mandates rapid platform removal of nonconsensual synthetic depictions. California SB 683 (signed October 2025) adds injunctive relief and extends right-of-publicity protections to digital replicas. SAG-AFTRA's 2025 Commercials Contract requires mandatory consent and 1.5x session fee premiums. EU AI Act Article 50 enforcement begins August 2026 globally. The NO FAKES Act passed Senate Judiciary Committee in June 2026 and is advancing toward signature. The legal architecture is exceptionally strong. Most talent simply does not have the documented framework in place to use it.
CAA operates CAAvault in partnership with Veritone — a biometric scanning vault focused on data custodianship and internal licensing for their existing roster. WME uses decentralized third-party partnerships for monitoring and legislative advocacy without proprietary infrastructure. Both are large agencies adding an AI feature to a traditional talent relationship. SigAux is purpose-built for one thing: protecting and deploying AI twin IP as the entire business, not as a feature added onto it. We build what your existing representation does not have the infrastructure or focus to build for you, and we position explicitly as a complement to your existing team, not a replacement. The specifics of what makes our technical infrastructure distinct are disclosed in the private consultation under NDA.
A private, single-day session at an invitation-only facility in Los Angeles. It captures your likeness and voice at the fidelity required to produce authorized commercial content that is unmistakably, legally, and technically you. The session is conducted under NDA, fully documented for legal compliance, and produces the foundational data that makes every subsequent authorized deployment defensible. We do not describe the specific technical process publicly. You review it in full during the consultation, with your counsel present if preferred.
It depends entirely on your existing commercial profile, brand category, and the markets activated through your authorized framework. The Khaby Lame acquisition in January 2026 at $975 million was predicated on a digital twin generating projected $4 billion in annual e-commerce revenue. At the brand licensing level, authorized AI twin deployments for global advertising command six-figure fees per campaign for talent of significant commercial profile. We do not project revenue for clients. We build the legal and technical foundation that makes those deals possible, and we advise on the structure of every offer so the economics are always in your favor.
Yes. Unconditionally. You own the IP. Revocation of any deployment, suspension of the entire program, or permanent retirement of the twin is available at any time, for any reason, with a single written instruction. This is not a courtesy we extend. It is a clause we require in every agreement, because control over your own likeness is not a negotiating point.
We recommend it and in most engagements require it. SigAux does not position as a replacement for traditional representation. We are the IP and technical infrastructure layer your existing team does not have the capacity to build. Our standard engagement involves your legal counsel and representative in the documentation process — not around them. This protects everyone and ensures the framework is enforceable when it is needed.
Every engagement begins with a mutual NDA before any substantive conversation occurs. Client identity, deal terms, capture data, and all operational details are never disclosed publicly. We do not publish client rosters. We do not use client names in marketing without explicit written consent. The nature of what we do demands a discretion standard higher than most agencies maintain, and we treat it accordingly without exception.
The market

The window is open.
It will not stay open.

The entertainment and brand industries have moved from debating AI to deploying it at scale. Compliance mandates are now active globally. The talent who establish legal frameworks and authorized twins now will set the licensing rates for everyone who follows.

$975M
Khaby Lame · Jan 2026
Rich Sparkle Holdings acquired Khaby Lame's core company at this valuation, centered on an authorized AI digital twin and its projected $4B annual e-commerce potential. The asset is the twin, not the channel.
Aug '26
EU AI Act enforcement
EU AI Act Article 50 enforcement begins August 2, 2026 — requiring machine-readable provenance marking on all AI-generated content, with penalties up to €7.5M per violation. Every SigAux deployment is compliant by default from day one.

Violations YoY
Right-of-publicity violations tied to AI-generated content are rising sharply. The enforcement infrastructure to respond is available. Almost no talent has it built and activated.
