British singer Sting predicted on Thursday that the use of artificial intelligence in the music industry will lead to a “battle” by artists to protect their work.
“The building blocks of music belong to us as humans,” the 71-year-old ex-Police singer told BBC News. Protecting our human capital against artificial intelligence will be a battle we all have to fight in the coming years.
Artificial intelligence is used to recreate the works of famous musicians. Fake works by artists such as Eminem, Drake, The Weeknd and Oasis were created using artificial intelligence.
Sting noted that “tools are useful,” but he believed that humans must control them because “machines cannot be allowed to take over, and care must be taken.”
Before receiving the highest awards of the “Iver Academy” for music on Thursday, the artist added that this technique “may work in the field of electronic music. But I don’t think I’m susceptible to emotional songs.
“Coffee evangelist. Alcohol fanatic. Hardcore creator. Infuriatingly humble zombie ninja. Writer. Introvert. Music fanatic.”
