AR Rahman used AI software to recreate the voices of late singers Bamba, Bakya and Shahul Hameed in 'Laal Salaam'. Perhaps in the near future we will see more and more composers resurrecting the voices of singers of yesteryear.
Lyricist Sameer Anjaan feels this is a huge problem and wants the authorities to intervene. “This is a challenge. There are many meetings and discussions going on and the government should take strict action,” Sameer said in an exclusive chat with ETimes. Similar strikes around the world regarding the use of AI occurred in the United States. ”
Sameer talks about the abuses of AI that need to be curbed. He said, “If we use Lata Ji's voice, what will happen to the original author?” Who has the rights? Who gets the money? Will the rights of the original composer and lyricist be reserved? Currently, when a song is remixed, the original gets his 50% and the artist who remixed it gets his 50%. That's still okay. What will happen with AI? There's no copyright to audio, right?
The music fraternity has also held several meetings with the government to find a solution, and the government is concerned about the issue. There's a lot of discussion going on. We hope that the outcome will be favorable to the original artist. ”
Sameer also believes that AI is never healthy for cinema and believes there needs to be a law with the music fraternity, saying, “Whoever owns the copyright to the original work will have to make money. With AI, you don't have to get money.'' Not getting anything is dangerous. However, if it is not beneficial, no matter who uses AI to recreate something, the person who created it will be finished. The problem with copyright law is that our rights are inalienable, and the government doesn't recognize that. If we want to shut down AI, we want to protect our rights, but the government needs to take some steps to solve this problem. ”
