TL;DR Summary

An AI-generated song featuring voices that mimic Drake and The Weeknd has been pulled from streaming platforms following a complaint from Universal Music Group. The label argued that the training of a generative AI using the voices of the two artists was a violation of copyright law. While there are ethical issues related to the creation of the song, it's unclear if it's a violation of traditional copyright law. The US Copyright Office has left the door open to granting copyright protections to works with AI-generated elements.
