Much of the news and analysis about generative AI for music focuses (with good reason) on unethical, exploitative uses. However, musical artists are increasingly exploring ways to use AI under their own control.
This episode lists musicians who are taking AI for music into their own hands to proactively manage consent, control. credit, and compensation (the 4Cs). They include Holly Herndon, Grimes, FKA Twigs, Randy Travis, and Beanie Siegel. Natalie Cole and Paul McCartney have created songs 'with' deceased collaborators. And rights owners for deceased artists Kim Kwang-seok, Teresa Teng, and Anita Mui have created new songs 'by' them.
Do you know of any other noteworthy virtual duets or artists using voice cloning or AI? Please share!
