According to Ukrinform, this situation was reported by the BBC.

Daniel Eck, owner of the streaming platform, said AI technology has a right to exist in music production but should not be imitated without the consent of live artists.

“You could imagine someone uploading a song claiming to be Madonna, even though it’s not. In the history of Spotify, we’ve seen almost everything where people have tried to beat our system. We have a very large team working on these issues,” Ek said.

He added that the use of artificial intelligence in music will likely be discussed “for many years.”

While artificial intelligence of any kind is not prohibited on the platform, the company does not allow its content to be used for machine learning or training artificial intelligence models that can then create music.

Earlier this year, the platform removed a track that featured AI-cloned voices of artists Drake and The Weeknd.

Neither Drake nor The Weeknd were aware that cloned versions of their voices were used on Heart on My Sleeve. The track was removed from Spotify and other streaming platforms in April.

Popular streaming service Spotify has introduced a new “DJ” function that uses artificial intelligence, Ukrinform reports.
