Christian Vlaport authorizes AI digital double, athletes begin AI commercialization of portraits

Australian footballer Christian Walpato has authorized the new company Cardano to create his AI digital double for brand cooperation and revenue sharing. Cardano exclusively holds Walpato's digital image, voice, and biometric data. Currently, the athletes signed by the company also include Brazilian footballer Joao Neto and American sailor Chris Pul. The company is developing an application that allows the digital double to interact with fans and plans to use it for football training guidance, but AI-related clauses are not included in the player contracts of major Australian sports leagues.
