Government proposals to allow Big Tech to scrape Britain's musical archives will worsen the 'epidemic' of AI 'deepfakes' plaguing the internet, insiders have warned.
Musicians and record labels warn that Labour's AI plans could worsen the "epidemic" of fake songs, with AI-generated "deepfakes" becoming increasingly difficult to detect. Record labels are already struggling to remove tens of thousands of fake tracks and music videos claiming to be by UK artists. The plans, which would allow Big Tech to scrape Britain's musical archives, have sparked fears that the problem will escalate. Musicians, including Paloma Faith and McFly's Danny Jones and Tom Fletcher, are backing a campaign to "Make It Fair," calling for proper compensation for artists and stricter regulation of AI.
