Billie Eilish, Metro Boomin, Nicki Minaj Join Hundreds Condemning Unlicensed AI Music

Hundreds of artists including Billie Eilish and Nicki Minaj signed a letter calling to stop using unlicensed music to train AI models.

"When used irresponsibly, AI poses enormous threats to our ability to protect our privacy, our identities, our music and our livelihoods," the letter, also signed by Stevie Wonder, Pearl Jam and Katy Perry, says “When used irresponsibly, AI poses enormous threats to our ability to protect our privacy, our identities, our music and our livelihoods,” the letter, whose signatories also included Stevie Wonder, Kacey Musgraves, Katy Perry and Imagine Dragons, said. Like other industry stakeholders such as UMG and the Human Artistry Campaign spearheaded by the RIAA, The Artist Rights Alliance letter doesn’t completely condemn AI, with the group saying that “when used responsibly, AI has enormous potential to advance human creativity and in a manner that enables the development and growth of new and exciting experiences for music fans everywhere.”
