The Call for U.S. Copyright Reforms: Artists and AI Clash

Artists from various creative professions, including country singers, romance novelists, video game artists, and voice actors, are urging the U.S. government to regulate artificial intelligence (AI) due to concerns about the threat it poses to their livelihoods. They fear that AI models could replicate their work without permission or compensation. The U.S. Copyright Office is currently considering whether copyright reforms are necessary for the era of generative AI tools. While technology companies argue that their use of AI models falls under fair use, artists and industry professionals are calling for stronger protections against copyright infringement and unauthorized use of their work.
