"AI-Generated Drake and The Weeknd Song Removed from Streaming After Viral Success"
TL;DR Summary
A song featuring AI-generated fake vocals from Drake and The Weeknd, called "Heart On My Sleeve," went viral over the weekend but has since been pulled from most streaming platforms after their label, Universal Music Group, released a statement condemning "infringing content created with generative AI." The song had generated over 600,000 spins on Spotify and had been viewed more than 15 million times on TikTok. UMG has urged streaming platforms to block AI companies from accessing the label's songs to "train" their machines, and the RIAA has warned that doing so infringes copyrights on a mass scale.
