And the Grammy goes to… an AI music generator?
The breakout hit of the spring is "Heart on My Sleeve," a track that
sounds just like a collaboration between musicians Drake and The Weeknd
-- two mega-popular artists who didn't record any of the song
themselves.
The track relies purely on AI-generated imitations of their voices,
posted online by a pseudonymous TikTok user, and since it went viral
last weekend it's been heard millions of times. It has also generated
takedown notices and a statement from The Weeknd's label, Universal
Music Group, slamming AI-powered copyright infringement and calling for
users of the technology to get on the right "side of history."
That makes it another flashpoint in a larger conflict now brewing over
the future of intellectual property in the age of AI -- and also a kind
of early warning about the growth of artificially generated culture.
>From courtrooms to Coachella, that fight has kicked off in earnest in
recent weeks, with pressure campaigns and legal battles taking shape
across the U.S. It's pitting artists and media conglomerates against AI
companies and their users, with tech platforms often caught in the
middle. The outcome will have profound consequences for the future of
IP, a pillar of post-industrial economies.
