Abstract: As an emerging productive force driving the digital transformation of the audio publishing industry， AI speech synthesis technology is not only reshaping production models and industrial ecosystems but also engendering three critical legal risks ： the protection of personality rights， copyright compliance， and data security governance. A comparative legal analysis indicates that the United States has developed a multilayered legislative framework to effectively mitigate risks， whereas the European Union has adopted a unified legislative approach to enhance transparency regulation and platform accountability. Drawing upon foreign regulatory experiences and integrating them with China’ s governance imperatives， this study proposes a composite legal framework based on the tripartite structure of“ rights definition–regulatory adaptation–risk prevention.” This framework entails establishing the independent legal status of voice rights and refining the criteria for infringement determination， formulating compliance regulations for the use and dissemination of copyrighted content， and strengthening security governance in the collection， storage， and cross-platform sharing of voice data. Simultaneously， proactive international cooperation should be pursued through the establishment of transnational regulatory mechanisms to address global governance challenges. By fostering the convergence of domestic regulatory frameworks with international legal mechanisms， this approach seeks to provide a robust institutional safeguard for the sustainable and orderly development of the audio publishing industry.
