Spotify rapped over AI music amid calls for fair pay to human artists

Spotify is under fire for promoting AI-generated music, raising concerns about fair compensation for human artists. Critics argue that the platform's endorsement of deepfake music threatens the revenue streams of real musicians. The CEO of Fairly Trained highlights the need for stricter regulations on AI music to protect artists' rights.

This trend has sparked debates about the ethics of AI in music production and the potential exploitation of human artists' work. Experts suggest that Spotify should label AI-generated content to inform listeners and prevent further erosion of artist royalties.
