AI-generated music purporting to contain Celine Dion's voice and likeness was distributed online without her authorization, prompting her to publicly denounce the fake recordings.
In March 2024, Celine Dion issued a public statement addressing the unauthorized use of AI technology to create fake music recordings that allegedly contained her voice, name, and likeness. The AI-generated music was circulating online and across various Digital Service Providers without her consent or approval. Dion's management team and Sony Music Entertainment Canada Inc. clarified that these recordings were fake and not part of her official discography. This incident reflects broader concerns in the music industry about AI creating music without artist permission, as evidenced by over 200 artists signing an open letter in April 2024 denouncing AI-music generation technology. The letter, supported by the Artists Rights Alliance, called on AI developers, technology companies, platforms and digital music services to stop using AI to infringe upon and devalue artists' rights. Notable artists including Billie Eilish, Katy Perry, Jon Bon Jovi, and Stevie Wonder joined this collective protest. Additionally, dozens of UK artists collaborated on a silent album in February to protest copyright laws involving AI, with track listings reading 'The British government must not legalize music theft to benefit AI companies.'
