The intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and copyright law is a complex and rapidly evolving area, particularly in regard to AI-generated music tracks that use existing artist voices. Currently, there are no clear copyright laws in place regarding ownership of these types of works. This is due to the fact that copyright law traditionally only protects works created by human authors, and it is unclear how to apply this concept to works created by AI.
The use of AI in creating music and other forms of content has raised many legal questions and challenges our understanding of ownership, fairness, and the very nature of creativity. For example, a graphic novel created using the Midjourney generative AI was able to obtain a copyright registration, but the situation is not always clear-cut. In the case of AI-generated music tracks that use existing artist voices, it is further complicated by the fact that the artists' voices and songs may have been used in the training data for the AI, which has led to copyright infringement lawsuits. Some legal experts suggest that copyright protection for AI-generated works is not outside the realm of possibility, at least in certain countries like Canada. However, the lack of clear laws and regulations in this area makes it difficult to determine who owns the copyright for AI-generated tracks that use existing artist voices.
