"Top Musicians Unite to Demand AI Respect for Artists' Rights"

Over 200 artists, including Katy Perry and Miranda Lambert, have signed an open letter urging AI developers to respect artists' rights and cease using artificial intelligence to infringe upon and devalue the rights of human artists. The letter, submitted by the Artist Rights Alliance, calls on AI developers, tech companies, and digital music services to pledge not to develop or deploy AI music-generation technology that undermines or replaces human artistry or denies fair compensation to artists. The letter also highlights the potential threats AI poses to privacy, identities, and livelihoods of musicians, and a bipartisan bill in Tennessee, known as the ELVIS Act, has been passed to protect artists' voices and likenesses from AI exploitation.
