Sony Music has requested the removal of over 260,000 AI-generated deepfake tracks from digital platforms, citing harm to artists, misleading fans, and copyright infringement. The surge in generative AI music has led to widespread streaming fraud, undermining artists' rights and diverting royalties within the music industry.[AI generated]
Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The AI system's use in generating deepfake songs directly leads to violations of intellectual property rights and harms artists financially and reputationally. The large scale of the takedown requests and the description of harm to artists and fans confirm that the AI system's misuse has caused realized harm. Therefore, this qualifies as an AI Incident under the framework, as the AI system's use has directly led to violations of rights and harm to communities (artists and fans).[AI generated]
