If you listen to music on Spotify, you’ve probably come across AI-generated tracks—like the AI band VELVET SUNDOWN. But what you may not have noticed is that AI imposter songs are being uploaded to real artists’ pages—including one belonging to a country songwriter who was murdered in 1989, long before music streaming even existed.
Emanuel Maiberg, journalist and co-founder of 404 Media, recently published a story called “Spotify Publishes AI-Generated Songs From Dead Artists Without Permission”. He spoke with The Metro’s David Leins about how these AI imposters are showing up on Spotify—and what artificial intelligence is doing to reshape media and culture.
Jeremy Peters, Professor of Music Business at Wayne State University, also joins The Metro to talk about the lasting impact AI could have on the very culture of music.
