Nicki Minaj, Billie Eilish, Katy Perry and many musicians are against it. AI

The music world is ready for AI-powered content creation, which is why an important group of artists wrote a public letter protesting “irresponsible” AI.

The list of undersigned artists is so powerful and extensive that it would make a great Coachella poster: it includes Billie Eilish, Bob Marley’s estate, Chappelle Roane, Elvis Costello, Greta Van Fleet, Imagine Dragons, Jon Bon Jovi, the Jonas Brothers, Kacey Musgraves, Katy Perry, Mac DeMarco, Miranda Lambert, Mumford & Sons, Nicki Minaj, Noah Kahan, Pearl Jam, Sheryl Crow and Zayn Malik and others.

“When used irresponsibly, AI poses a huge threat to our ability to protect our privacy, our identities, our music and our livelihoods,” the letter said. “Some of the largest and most influential companies are using our work to train AI models without permission. …For many musicians, artists and songwriters who are just trying to make ends meet, this would be catastrophic.”

“This attack on human creativity must stop,” the musicians said in their letter. “We must protect ourselves from the predatory use of AI to steal the voices and images of professional artists, violate the rights of creators, and destroy the music ecosystem.”
