Model and actress Akima, known for playing Rebeca in the series One Hundred Years of Solitude, said on social media that a director and two production companies created "six or seven characters" based on her face with artificial intelligence for luxury campaigns in Europe, the United States and Latin America. Lawyers consulted say the use of her image without prior, free, informed and express authorization violates her image rights, and that she could seek removal of the images through a tutela and sue for compensation. The director has not commented.
