AI Copyright Law

Supportive AI Resource Website ‘The Neuron’  reports on a positive case usage of AI tech in their newsletter. Big Tech Might Be The Ones To Protect Musicians From AI 

Back in April, we first covered the controversy of AI music when an AI track of Drake & The Weeknd went mega-viral. OGs, you remember this. Fast forward, and musicians have been clamoring for protection against AI. They haven’t had much success … until now. Enter Google and Universal Music: They’re joining forces to make sure artists get paid when AI creates new melodies using their voices. This is a HUGE win for the music world!!! Artists can now license their voices to companies that want to create new tunes and cash in while they’re at it. A true win-win. Why it matters: More and more big tech companies are stepping up to protect artists’ original content. Adobe's Firefly exclusively uses licensed artwork. Meta is doing the same for Audiocraft, its "ChatGPT for audio." And now, it's Google's turn. The partnership is early, but it’s the first legit solution we’ve seen to ensure creators get paid in the era of AI. - The Neuron

I agree with this direction. It should be challenging to take someone's likeness and use it however you want. I would feel taken from if an AI clone of me made money for someone or...IT, for that matter. What is mine is mine.

Also, leave room for anyone to make mistakes if they borrow too much or too little from other artists. We all have influences that draw out artistic outcomes just the same as the AI will go out and observe a thousand times the content to take back then and re-create art with. It is doing what creative humans do. It combines ideas and predicts what typically comes next within its creative ability and its limits to do so.

The extension of my creative ability is notable since using AI tools. Everything has traveled light speed for a bit, stabilized, and now we are here with all these magical enhancements and tools. GPT is an optional extension of human capability, like how a calculator was explicitly for math. GPT can calculate many more things. Roadblocks to higher levels of thought and creativity are removed, and there is an empowered feeling to have a genius assistant to bounce almost everything off of at any time.
