Sony Music has sent a letter to 700 streamers, artificial intelligence developers and content platforms such as YouTube or Spotify to ask them to remove the music of their singers that their artists have not done or replicas of their voices.
In information provided by the ‘Financial Times’, Sony Music states through its letter that they and their artists recognize “the important potential and advancement of artificial intelligence,” but adds that “unauthorized use” in The training, development or commercialization of AI systems deprives [Sony] of control and adequate compensation”.
“Due to the nature of your operations and the information published about your AI systems, we have reason to believe that you and/or your affiliates may have already made unauthorized uses [del contenido de Sony] in relation to the training, development or commercialization of AI systems. This letter serves to warn you directly and reiterate that [las discográficas de Sony] expressly prohibit any use of [su] content,” they also express in the letter.
The letter has been sent because artificial intelligence makes it possible to use real songs from artists, including those from Sony Music, to extract their voice and so that these created voices can pronounce or sing phrases that they have never said, being able lead to misunderstandings.
Therefore, they have made this decision that has led to demand these companies (including Open IA, Microsoft or Google) to remove their artistslike Adele, Beyoncé or Harry Styles.
