Sony Music Requests Removal of 260,000 AI Deepfake Songs
Original: Sony Music Has Requested the Removal of Over 260,000 AI Deepfake Songs From Digital Platforms
Sony Music has asked digital platforms to take down more than 260,000 songs that use artificial intelligence to clone artists' voices or styles without consent. The mass takedown requests are part of the label's effort to protect its roster from unauthorised AI-generated imitations, and the scale of the purge is drawing attention to how labels are fighting back against deepfake music.
Why now: The sheer scale of the takedown requests highlights growing conflict between music rights holders and AI-generated content on streaming platforms.
