This episode scrutinizes copyright and royalties in the music industry and how the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) complicates the use rights and protections extended to artists and their work. Using historical contacts found in the archives to examine traditional copyright law, Aayoush and Nazire discuss the complicated issue of who should receive credit and compensation when an AI generated song mimics an artist's style or voice without their involvement or their permission.
