00:00:00
this track was released That was
00:00:02
supposed to be by Drake
00:00:04
uh it did really well took off and then
00:00:06
it turns out somebody created it with AI
00:00:08
and so I think the legal issues there
00:00:12
are going to be both on the input side
00:00:14
of generative Ai and the output side and
00:00:17
by input side I mean what kind of data
00:00:20
are used to train the AI so if you're
00:00:23
using data to train AI to create music
00:00:26
the question is where did the training
00:00:29
data set come from do you have the
00:00:30
consent of the musicians who's created
00:00:35
the music before you trained your system
00:00:36
on that are you giving them suitable
00:00:39
compensation
00:00:41
if money is made out of the resulting
00:00:43
product how are you tracking what is
00:00:45
each musician's contribution you create
00:00:47
a new brand new song how do you say two
00:00:50
percent of the song is inspired from
00:00:52
Jay-Z and three percent from Drake and
