Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>Hundreds of artists and songwriters, including Billie Eilish, Smokey Robinson and the estate of Frank Sinatra, signed an open letter released Tuesday urging protection against what they called an \u201cassault on human creativity\u201d posed by artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must protect against the predatory use of AI to steal professional artists\u2019 voices and likenesses, violate creators\u2019 rights, and destroy the music ecosystem,\u201d read the letter submitted by the non-profit Artist Rights Alliance.<\/p>\n

The letter comes after months of similar warnings that unchecked artificial intelligence could undermine copyright law and open the door to rampant fraud and theft.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe call on all digital music platforms and music-based services to pledge that they will not develop or deploy AI music-generation technology, content, or tools that undermine or replace the human artistry of songwriters and artists or deny us fair compensation for our work,\u201d read the letter, whose signatories also included Katy Perry, J Balvin and Pearl Jam.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnchecked, AI will set in motion a race to the bottom that will degrade the value of our work and prevent us from being fairly compensated for it,\u201d read the letter.<\/p>\n

Last month, the state of Tennessee \u2013 one of the music industry\u2019s nerve centres thanks to Nashville \u2013 became the first in the United States to pass legislation that aims to protect music industry professionals against AI threats with its \u201cELVIS Act\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Ensuring Likeness, Voice, and Image Security Act, which goes into effect on 1 July, says generative AI tools cannot replicate an artist\u2019s voice without obtaining consent.<\/p>\n

Similar legislation is under discussion at the federal level in Congress and in several other states.<\/p>\n

Activists and top industry organisations, including the Recording Industry Association of America and the Screen Actors Guild, praised the Tennessee Act \u2013 the Human Artistry Campaign, a global coalition, called it \u201clandmark\u201d legislation.<\/p>\n

In Tuesday\u2019s letter, the Artists Rights Alliance \u2013 an artist-run group representing songwriters and performers \u2013 acknowledged that AI has \u201cenormous potential to advance human creativity\u201d but warned of the darker consequences.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking musicians are already struggling to make ends meet in the streaming world, and now they have the added burden of trying to compete with a deluge of AI-generated noise,\u201d said ARA head Jen Jacobsen.<\/p>\n

Universal Music Group has cited TikTok\u2019s approach to AI as a factor in the ongoing contract renewal feud between the two companies, which has led to music from Universal\u2019s many recording artists and those with publishing contracts being expunged from the platform.<\/p>\n
