## Key points

- James’ lawyers challenged an AI advert using his likeness.
- The video imitated his voice, tattoos and distinctive walk.
- Dončić also objected to a portrayal elsewhere in the app.

## Summary

LeBron James’ lawyers sent a cease-and-desist letter to PlayVision Inc., which owns the Bron AI sports betting app, over an advert that used an unauthorised likeness of him. The dispute highlights concerns about AI-generated imitations and the use of public figures’ identities, particularly as James has an exclusive endorsement deal with Polymarket.

The advert went viral on social media on Wednesday. It did not show James’ face, but imitated his voice, tattoos, build and distinctive walk; the main visible difference was the AI figure’s hair and a jersey reading “Bron” instead of “James”. Luka Dončić also objected to how his likeness was portrayed elsewhere in the app, though he did not appear in the advert.
