Kehlani Critiques AI's Impact on Music Industry and Artist Compensation
In a recent social media post, acclaimed artist Kehlani voiced her profound concerns regarding the burgeoning role of artificial intelligence in the music industry. The singer highlighted a specific instance where an AI R&B artist reportedly signed a multi-million dollar deal and achieved a top-five album, all without direct human creative input. Kehlani emphasized the capabilities of AI, stating it can "make the entire fucking song," including vocals and beats, and even "literally rewrite, resing in a country voice" to transform a song's genre. She passionately argued that such advancements are "beyond out of our control" and diminish the value of human artists' lifelong dedication, training, and sacrifices. "Nothing and no one on earth will ever be able to justify AI to me," Kehlani asserted, particularly when it comes to the creative arts where individuals have "worked hard for, trained for, slept on the floor for, fucking got injuries for, worked for their entire lives." Her comments underscore a growing debate within the entertainment sector about intellectual property, human creativity, and the ethical implications of AI.
