A wave of musicians, including indie bands and well-known artists, are leaving Spotify in protest of CEO Daniel Ek's investments in Helsing, an AI defense company, citing concerns over ethics, sound quality, and fair compensation, and are seeking alternative ways to distribute and monetize their music.
A group of artists leaked OpenAI's unreleased Sora AI video generator, protesting against what they see as exploitative practices. They criticized OpenAI for using unpaid artists to test the tool under the guise of creative partnership, while offering minimal compensation. The artists, who support AI as a creative tool, argue that the early access program was more about PR than genuine artistic collaboration. OpenAI has since paused the Sora program, and the artists are advocating for more open and fair practices in AI development.
