This comes amid industry-wide pushback against the use of generative AI in music, with concerns over ethical and legal issues surrounding copyright infringement and labor rights. Legislation has been introduced to protect musicians from having their vocal likeness generated by AI for commercial purposes, but the debate over the permissible use of AI in music continues.
