Artists Rally Against AI's Impact on Creativity, Demand Fair Compensation

Over 200 artists, including Billie Eilish and Jon Bon Jovi, sign an open letter to tech companies and AI developers, calling for responsible use of AI in the music industry.

More than 200 artists, including high-profile names like Billie Eilish, Jon Bon Jovi, and the estates of Bob Marley and Frank Sinatra, have signed an open letter denouncing the uncontrolled use of AI in the music industry.
The letter warns that AI threatens to undermine human creativity, replace artists with AI-generated content, and dilute royalty pools, potentially destabilizing many working musicians.
Artists are not against AI but demand its responsible use, highlighting its potential to advance human creativity if used ethically.
The Artist Rights Alliance, among other advocates, calls for technology companies and platforms to pledge not to develop or deploy AI music-generation technology that undermines or replaces human artistry.
Legal and industry experts express concerns over the unprecedented legal debates AI's integration into creative fields is stirring, with Tennessee being the first state to legislate against AI's infringement on artists' rights.
