There have been reports of cases where AI is used to reproduce the voices of famous artists, and this synthesized voice is made to sing original songs or existing songs.
One of the examples is to reproduce the singing voices of Drake and The Weeknd with AI and make them sing the original song 'Heart On My Sleeve' . Heart On My Sleeve has become a popular song played millions of times on TikTok and Spotify, but due to copyright infringement claims from major labels, it has been removed from video platforms and music distribution services across the board. .

Various ``singing videos with AI voices that imitate the singing voices of artists'', such as a video that reproduces the voices of Drake and Kanye West with AI and sings Cardi B and Megan the Stallion 's `` WAP '', etc. uploaded on the platform.

On the other hand, music labels and others are working hard to remove the video by filing a copyright infringement as soon as possible.
In the album 'UTOP-AI', which summarizes songs using AI, AI that mimics the singing voices of multiple artists such as Travis Scott sings various songs. The album was removed from YouTube three hours after it was uploaded due to a copyright infringement claim from Warner Music Group . After that, UTOP-AI was uploaded to Soundcloud, but it was also deleted immediately, and this album cannot be heard at the time of article creation.
It seems that there is a large community of creators who create songs created using AI called 'AI Hub' on Discord. This server was created on March 25, 2023, and at the time of writing, more than 21,000 people are participating. AI Hub is dedicated to the creation and sharing of AI music, and is available to creators who are interested in the new arrival of AI music, such as 'synthetic voice that imitates the voice of a specific artist' and 'existing AI that can be used for composition.' Models', 'How to create AI music', etc. are shared.
The person who created the server said, ``I never expected the server to grow like this.In just one month, our server gathered more than 20,000 members.Our server was unintentionally It has become a huge new technology hub.” “When the server started, most people were using the AI models I created, but now there are over 70 different AI models on this server. I am,' he tells Motherboard.
According to Motherboard, creating a cover for an existing song using AI is 'surprisingly easy' and takes just a few minutes to create. AI Hub users can create AI music surprisingly easily because
When creating a cover of an existing song, download the music video of the song you want to cover from YouTube and use a tool that separates the performance and singing voice that exists on the web to create a ``singing voice only audio file''. By having the AI model learn this, it becomes possible to imitate the singing voice of a specific artist with AI. After that, the AI music is completed by synthesizing the AI voice and the performance part.
Wonderson, a Ukrainian music producer, said, 'What I like about AI music is the freedom that AI gives.' It seems that there are millions of producers and singer-songwriters in the music industry, but there are only a handful of singers with real talent, and it seems that there are very few people who can work with such singers. Wonderson claims that AI will compensate for the loss of such opportunities.
“Many songs get a second chance or new interpretations as AI music covers existing songs. There are even cases where it is,' Wonderson says.
Creators who create music with AI Hub seem to be continuously improving the AI voice model. Although creating AI music is just a hobby for creators, it seems that the burden of creating music has dramatically decreased compared to the past.
Meanwhile, music industry labels and publishers are working hard to crack down on AI music. In particular, it seems that the copyright issue of AI music has become a hot topic due to the great success of 'Heart On My Sleeve'. 'Heart On My Sleeve' is AI music that mimics the voices of two artists, Drake and The Weeknd. As a result, Universal Music Group , who has signed a contract with Drake and The Weeknd, immediately filed a copyright infringement complaint against 'Heart On My Sleeve' and removed the song from the music streaming service.
In addition, Universal Music Group told Motherboard, ``The Heart on my sleeve case is why the platform has a legal and ethical responsibility to prevent the use of the service in a way that harms the artist. or
In fact, the Universal Music Group has requested companies that provide music streaming services such as Spotify and Apple to block AI apps from obtaining melodies and lyrics from copyrighted music. In addition, Universal Music Group executive Michael Nash said in February 2023, ``AI dilutes the market, makes it difficult to find original works, and violates the legal rights of artists to receive compensation from their works. I criticize .
Karl Fowlkes, a lawyer familiar with the entertainment industry, said, 'People are very interested in AI, but AI as a tool is well suited to improve workflows, avoid creative roadblocks and become more efficient.' AI also has many advantages in the music industry, but generative AI is something that all stakeholders in the industry need to attack. The Universal Music Group notice was a big catalyst for the industry,' he commented to Motherboard.
In order to avoid regulation from the music industry, AI Hub has rules such as `` do not illegally distribute copyrighted materials '' and `` do not infringe anyone's intellectual property or rights '' that's right.
In addition, another server from AI Hub called 'Sable AI Hub' has been built on Discord, and it seems that AI voice models can be executed using text commands using bots here. In addition, the AI music creation app 'Musicfy' from AI Hub has already appeared and can be used by anyone.

Musicfy was created by student hacker ak24. ak24 is also a member of AI Hub, and Musicfy has been used more than 100,000 times in one day since its release. In addition, ak24 said, ``We created Musicfy to allow people to freely create AI music.Musicfy uses existing AI voice models and does not generate profits.'' says.
In the explanation column of the album UTOP-AI that contains Heart on my sleeve, it was written that it does not violate the copyright law based on the principle of fair use . The fair use principle allows free use of copyrighted material for certain purposes, such as non-commercial and educational purposes. Whether or not it is fair use is decided based on four factors: 'purpose of use', 'property of original work', 'amount of use for the whole', and 'market impact of new work'.
The term fair use is widely used by AI music creators to defend their work, but Fowlkes said, ``There are no specific definitions or criteria to accurately determine whether AI music infringes copyright. does not yet exist,' he commented.
Mr. Fowlkes says that the two most obvious legal issues are `` publicity rights '' and `` ingesting copyrighted works to create new works ''. Publicity rights are legal rights to control the commercial use of your name, image, and likeness by others, ``There is a good chance that this will affect someone's voice,'' Fowlkes said. Mr. Fowlkes also said, ``There are cases where artists' songs are used for AI training when creating AI music, just as AI imitated the voices of Drake and The Weeknd in Heart on my sleeve.In that case, The debate over copyright infringement is a very big problem.'
AI is not entirely new to the music industry. In fact, several artists are already using AI to create songs, and Taryn Southern has partnered with AI music service Amper Music to create an instrumental version of 'Break Free.'
In addition, female solo musician Grimes said on Twitter, ``If the AI-generated song using my voice is successful, I will pay 50% as a royalty. Feel free to use my voice without penalty, I have no label or legal binding,' he tweeted, publicly allowing AI to use his voice in music. doing.
I'll split 50% royalties on any successful AI generated song that uses my voice. Same deal as I would with any artist i collab with. Feel free to use my voice without penalty. I have no label and no legal bindings . twitter.com/KIY60B5uqt

AI music creators don't see AI music as something to make money or steal an artist's fame, but to take fan appreciation to the next level. In fact, Wonderson said, ``I personally think AI music should be tagged, but not removed. It's something that will help you,' he said, looking forward to the positive impact that AI music will have on music as a whole.
