More than 200 music artists signed a new open letter submitted by the Artist Rights Alliance non-profit, calling on artificial intelligence tech companies, developers, digital music services and platforms to stop using AI “to infringe upon and devalue the rights of human artists.”
Some of the letter’s supporters include: Katie Perry, Billie Eilish, Miranda Lambert, Kacey Musgraves, Jon Bon Jovi, Darius Rucker, Elvis Costello, Noah Kahan, Jason Isbell, Marcus King, and Sheryl Crow.
The letter says, “Make no mistake: we believe that, when used responsibly, AI has enormous potential to advance human creativity and in a manner that enables the development and growth of new and exciting experiences for music fans everywhere….
“Unfortunately, some platforms and developers are employing AI to sabotage creativity and undermine artists, songwriters, musicians and rightsholders,” also stated.
Last month, Tennessee became the first US State with a law protecting artists from unauthorized use of AI. The Tennessean reported TN Gov. Lee signed the ELVIS Act into law on March 21, 2024. The ELVIS Act, “advocates on behalf of the state’s music creators by enacting voice protections.”
Will other states join the 200 music artists and growing, against AI being used to develop and create unauthorized music including original sounds, lyrics or entire songs on its own?
The future of music is changing quickly, and there has to be some kind of protection and laws set into place.
