#AI #OpenSource #Music #GenerativeAI #Copyright #IP: "The surge of open-source AI programs such as So-Vits-SVC — shared online by Chinese programmers on platforms such as GitHub — has allowed internet users to train and build their own deepfake models that mimic celebrity voices. From Singapore to Spain, people have used these Chinese-made AI programs to resurrect dead artists, parodize politicians, and bulk-produce songs in the voices of Kanye West, Taylor Swift, and Donald Trump.
But the proliferation of voice-cloning AI has also triggered warnings from authorities and the music industry. Chinese state media have warned creators of AI songs about copyright violations. After an AI-generated song featuring the voices of Drake and the Weeknd went viral, the Universal Music Group, one of the world’s biggest record companies, called deepfake songs a form of “fraud” and a threat to human creative expression."
