#Tennessee just took a major step in preserving musicians’ rights against artificial intelligence. A newly passed ELVIS Act targets the unauthorized replication of musicians’ voices using AI, building onto the state’s existing right publicity law. Though the new law is broad and thus aggressive when it comes to who is liable, it is not enough to battle the threat of how those models are trained in the first place, explains University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School professor Jennifer Rothman. #Nashville #music #AI #rightshttps://lnkd.in/ef8P9cqh

NPR reports: Tennessee Passes Historic Legislation to Protect Artists from AI ImpersonationTennessee has become the first state to pass a law protecting musicians and artists from unauthorized artificial intelligence impersonation. The Ensuring Likeness Voice and Image Security Act, also known as the ELVIS Act, prohibits the use of AI to mimic an artist's voice without permission. The new legislation is an updated version of the state's right of publicity law, specifically including AI-specific protections. The law, signed by Gov. Bill Lee, aims to safeguard artists' identities and creative work in the face of advancing AI technology.Read the original article here:https://lnkd.in/gvD6237eThis report was generated by www.LinkReportApp.com

On the heels of the EU passing the first multinational law regulating AI, Tennessee becomes the first US government entity to pass music-specific AI legislation. The ELVIS Act updates TN's personal rights protection law to include "protections for songwriters, performers, and music industry professionals' voice from the misuse of artificial intelligence."The law is somewhat narrow, but it does protect singer's voices from being cloned & used without their permission. Why Tennessee? Per capita, music is incredibly important to the state's economy: It employs over 61k people and adds $5.8B to the state's GDP. It will be interesting to see Tennessee's law will lead to a domino effect of AI laws aimed at the creator economy, or if it will remain an outlier. #musicindustry #musicbusiness #musicAI #AIregulation

AI certainly has its advantages.But, some choose to leverage it the wrong way.The music industry has been under heat for this in the past 🎵To the point where Tenessee has put the Elvis Act into place to take action against plagiarism 🚨The Elvis Act (Ensuring Likeness, Voice, and Image Security) is a testament to protecting the state's rich musical heritage and commitment to supporting its artists.It ensures an artist's voice cannot be replicated without their consent.A highly common misconception about AI is that it can do everything a human can, better and faster.AI is a tool to ENHANCE human abilities, not replace them altogether. It shouldn’t be one or the other. Should we expect to see more like the Elvis Act put in place to stop this kind of misuse?https://lnkd.in/eGWNkx4j

My take: agents need to get smart on how to make sure their clients receive proper royalties from the use of AI. Conceptually this should supercharge income for these artists without them having to do as much work. Good IP lawyers & amazing agents will become increasingly important for artists across the board. Don't run from AI - work with AI companies, educate yourself / your team, and learn how to use it to your advantage.#ai #music #entertainment #aiforartists

Step one complete, we need to make sure we DO NOT just let “AI” be implemented but rather perform our due diligence. Tennessee becomes the first state to protect musicians and other artists against AI - NPR https://lnkd.in/e5bR6KWt

How much will this come down to fan activity?If fans are to trust that what they're spending their money on is music or art genuinely from the artist, do they have the right to seek compensation if it turns out to be AI imitation of them? Would consumer protection law factor in here, in some way, down the line?Will opt-in or mandatory track labelling become a thing - '100% made by this artist'? Fans can then decide for themselves what they listen to and where they spend their money.And what about platforms? Last year, Spotify made it clear they wouldn't ban all AI-made music. From the BBC article: https://lnkd.in/eFbx4Q6B"Mr Ek, who rarely speaks to the media, said that he saw three "buckets" of AI use:* tools such as auto-tune which improve music, which he believed were acceptable* tools which mimic artists, which were not* and a more contentious middle ground where music created by AI was clearly influenced by existing artists but did not directly impersonate them."It's that middle ground which this open letter is addressing...#ai #airegulation #responsibletech #musichttps://lnkd.in/eJ7yWbwA

This issue is truly central in the generative AI debate. Another I foresee percolating is whether copyright/patentability is compromised when a publicly accessible generative AI tool (such as ChatGPT) is used to write code or debug code. Assuming exposure in a non-confidential environment is not dispositive (and that is a BIG supposition), what metric(s) might be used to determine that answer, e.g., percentage of human proprietary vs AI authorship?

Did you read those Terms and Conditions thoroughly before clicking Agree? As the debate continues around the legislation surrounding AI, there is a concern being raised by music artists regarding their voice and likeness. But what about you? Will we find online services starting to use our voice or likeness for the videos and images we post? Check out this article about the No AI FRAUD Act to hear arguments from several perspectives. #ai #airegulations https://lnkd.in/gWkzfJ9V

Ice Cube Takes on AI Music: Legal Action Imminent!: Ice Cube has criticized AI-generated songs, calling them "demonic," and expressed his willingness to take legal action against those using his likeness without permission. He believes that AI will face backlash from real artists and organic music enthusiasts. Similarly, music producer Young Guru has raised ethical and legal implications surrounding AI-generated content, highlighting the need for regulations and safeguards to prevent misuse of this technology. Both artists suggest the importance of protecting the rights and integrity of human creativity in the face of emerging AI capabilities. - Artificial Intelligence topics! #ai #artificialintelligence #intelligenzaartificiale
