We don’t know if for better or for worse, but Grimes is applying the “there is talent, we just need to support it” to all those internet users begin to get more and more involved at about make music with the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
And it is that the Canadian singer, known for always going against the current, has made an invitation to their fans and the general public to make a song generated by AI and in which they use their voice. All without fear of being sued.
Grimes invites fans to make songs with AI using their voice
“I will split 50% of the royalties on any AI-generated hit song that uses my voice. The same treatment that you would do with any artist with whom you collaborate”Grimes said in a tweet where he posted the news of the AI-generated song by Drake and The Weeknd.
“Feel free to use my voice without penalty. I have no label or legal ties”wrote the singer who considers it great that they merge their talent with a machine: “I like the idea of opening up all the art and removing copyrights”said.
Grimes won’t sue for copyright if they use their voice for AI
And if you think that Grimes is going through the roof with that of the AI songs made with her voice, in reality the matter is serious, because this Monday, April 24, the singer announced a page where interested people can register their creations.
“Talking to my team: if you record music with us, we can collect and pay royalties directly to anyone who uses AI voices Grimes using smart contracts”, Grimes said about this portal that will be a new way of working.
He even launched a page where people can register the songs they make with their voice
“The future is now”assured Grimes when detailing that he is working on this portal that will become a way to easily record and access the singer’s voices.
Although the controversy of the use of AI in music is currently at its peak, Grimes has spoken to her about her advantage in making art. In fact, he has a song called “We Appreciate Power” where in 2018 the AI already caught his attention
Although there will be sanctions from Grimes to those who use the songs as hate speech
Although Grimes said there’s no problem with them using their voice to make songs, He only put one rule: that the letters are not very toxic or with retrograde content regarding sex or any type of violence that are taken to the extreme.
“I don’t want to be responsible for a Nazi anthem unless it’s somehow a joke to the producers, I guess,” Grimes clarified that he prefers to leave political issues aside and he will only approve songs that mock ideologies with which he does not agree, such as anti-abortion.
Grime reopens the debate on music and the use of AI in it
In addition, on other occasions Grimes has revealed his position on how he believes that AI helps to make better art and that there will come a point where it will replace and be better than live music. Which is somehow already beginning to happen.
Just last week we were surprised to hear the Oasis album that was made with AI and that is already beginning to worry not only the artists, but also the record labels that ask streaming platforms to take measures to prevent AI from infringing copyright.
