- The evolution of AI is disrupting various fields, including the business of designers, illustrators, content writers and music composers, who are affected by generative artificial intelligence bots.
- Spotify has decided to remove AI-generated songs from Boomy because they infringed the rights of real artists.
- Boomy is an application that uses artificial intelligence to allow users to generate songs in different genres quickly and easily.
This week it became known that Stingthe famed former leader of U2, spoke about music and artificial intelligence and about how he was going to change the rules of the game.
The artist was very hard and He even spoke of a real “war”.
That’s right, the evolution of AI is generating all kinds of alterations in almost all areas.
As generative artificial intelligence bots are impacting the business of designers, illustrators and content writers, it is also impacting music composers.
Indeed, song-creating artists are part of the professions most threatened by the development of these technologies, due to the different tools that artificial intelligence offers.
In this context, another example: Spotify decided not to be part of the platforms that give space to creations made entirely with AI, so it decided to remove thousands of songs that were generated 100% with bots using the voices of real artists.
Most of these songs were created by the company boomya firm that specializes in producing music content based on algorithms, without human intervention.
According to what was published by the Financial Timesthe idea to remove these compositions from the platform arose after a formal complaint from the Universal Music record company.
The problem is that a song generated by Boomy that seemed to include the voices of Drake and The Weeknd, artists whose rights belong to Universal Music, went viral.
For that reason, Spotify decided to start removing Boomy-produced content. For now at 10 percent, which are those with voices that “imitate” those of real artists whose rights belong to record companies.
Indeed, the recall does not cover all AI-generated compositions, at least for now.
According to the FT, there are 14.5 million songs created with artificial intelligence, almost 15 percent of all the music shared in the world.
The creation of the songs with AI has a single objective, which is to upload them to Spotify and monetize them.
