Sen. Marsha Blackburn warned AI experts in a Senate hearing Tuesday musical artists and songwriters' revenue streams could be impacted by unchecked AI technology.
, R-Tenn., warned Tuesday that artificial intelligence is making it harder for songwriters and other artists — particularly women — to win exposure and have a career in the entertainment industry.
Blackburn said generative AI cloning of voices and melodies by OpenAI's Jukebox is one way artists are being hurt. Jukebox says it is a"neural net that generates music, including rudimentary singing, as raw audio in a variety of genres and artist styles."Blackburn says that because this experimental tech can be trained to imitate individual artists, AI is threatening to rob artists of their ability to be compensated.
"You look at the power of AI to shape what people are hearing … If you've got these algorithmically AI-generated playlists that cuts out new artists or females or certain sounds, then you are limiting some of someone's potential." Blackburn said at the hearing.
