Founder of Spotify: AI will not be banned from creating music, as long as it does not infringe the copyright of human artists.

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Alejandro86 for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, September 26 (Xinhua) Daniel Ike (Daniel Ek), founder of streaming music service Spotify, said in an interview with BBC BBC that he does not intend to completely ban content created by artificial intelligence on music streaming platform.

‎ learned that earlier this year, the platform removed a repertoire that included artificial intelligence clones of singers Drake and The Weeknd. In response, Ike believes that the technology is effective in making music, but artificial intelligence should not be used to imitate human artists without their consent.

The use of artificial intelligence in music may be debated "for many years", he said, citing three aspects.

The CTOnews.com is summarized as follows:

It is acceptable to use tools such as automatic tuning to improve music.

It is not allowed to be used as a tool for imitating artists.

What is more controversial is that the music created by artificial intelligence is obviously influenced by existing artists, but does not directly imitate them.

Asked about the challenges facing the industry, Ike replied: "it's going to be tricky." He added: "you can imagine someone uploading a song claiming to be Madonna, even if they are not. In the course of running Spotify, we have seen all kinds of people trying to play with our system, and we have a very large team dealing with such problems."
