FKA Twigs defended the use of AI by explaining she made a deepfake version of herself to help her with social media
While many musicians are wary of artificial intelligence's rise, FKA Twigs says she’s already using it to help her engage with her fans.
“I will be engaging my AI twigs later this year to extend my reach and handle my online social media interactions, whilst I continue to focus on my art from the comfort and solace of my studio,” she continued. “These and similar emerging technologies are highly valuable tools both artistically and commercially when under the control of the artist.”
“Our careers and livelihoods are in jeopardy, and so potentially are the wider image-related rights of others in society. You have the power to change this and safeguard the future,” she wrote. “That the very essence of our being at its most human level can be violated by the unscrupulous use of AI to create a digital facsimile that purports to be us, and our work, is inherently wrong.
Musicians have already been targets of unethical AI use. Social media platform X disabled the ability to search for Taylor Swift after explicit AI-generated images of her were shared. The anonymous songwriter Ghostwriter drew the ire of some fans when they released “Heart on My Sleeve,” a song featuring AI vocals of Drake and The Weeknd.
