Spotify Publishes AI-Generated Songs From Dead Artists Without Permission


"They could fix this problem. One of their talented software engineers could stop this fraudulent practice in its tracks, if they had the will to do so."

Spotify is publishing new, AI-generated songs on the official pages of artists who died years ago without the permission of their estates or record labels. I couldn’t find any information about a music distribution company by that name, but searching Spotify, I found that the same copyright mark appears on a page for another AI-generated song by Grammy winning country singer-songwriter Guy Clark, “ Happened To You,” who died in 2016. Berk did not immediately respond to a request for comment but according to a spokesperson for Reality Defender, a deepfake detection company, all the tracks “have indicators that show a higher-than-normal probability of AI generation.”
