MPs Call for UK Law Against AI-Generated Deepfakes of Musicians and Politicians

MPs in the UK are advocating for a new law to prohibit the use of AI-generated deepfakes in impersonating musicians and other celebrities.
The growing concern comes as the use of artificial intelligence to mimic voices and images of well-known artists, such as Jess Glynne, Mumford and Sons, Sam Smith, and Zayn Malik, has become more prevalent.

The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Music has urged the government to regulate the use of AI in music production to protect artists from "predatory use" and potential damage to their reputations.

A cross-party group of MPs in the UK has called for a new law to protect creators and artists from misappropriation and false endorsement by AI.

They believe such a law should also address the risk of AI destroying creators' livelihoods.

MPs warned of the danger that unchecked developments in AI could pose to the music industry and urged politicians to confront this issue.

However, they also acknowledged that AI can be a positive force for innovation and human creativity.

The MPs emphasized the need for policies that will harness the benefits of AI while mitigating its threats.

The text emphasizes the importance of recognizing that Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be beneficial but should not be allowed to replace human creators.

It uses the example of Tennessee's new law, known as the Elvis Act, which prohibits the use of AI to mimic an artist's voice without their consent.

The text suggests that the UK should consider implementing a similar "personality right" to protect creators' individuality and prevent falling behind international competitors.
