A North Carolina musician has been arrested for allegedly using artificial intelligence to create and stream hundreds of thousands of songs. This fraudulent activity reportedly generated over $10 million in royalty payments by streaming these songs billions of times. The musician, Michael Smith, faces serious charges that could lead to a lengthy prison sentence.
Federal authorities claim that Smith's actions cheated legitimate musicians and songwriters out of their rightful royalties. By creating thousands of fake accounts on streaming platforms, he was able to continuously stream his AI-generated music, resulting in substantial illegal profits. This case highlights the potential for advanced technology to be misused in the music industry.
