Abstract
The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in recent years has fundamentally altered the landscape of creative expression. Specifically, generative AI technology has revolutionized how we interact with information, art, and entertainment, blurring the lines between human creativity and machine-generated content. As AI-generated works proliferate across various domains, from visual arts to music composition, profound legal questions and ethical dilemmas have emerged. We currently find ourselves navigating a landscape filled with legal gray areas regarding protections and guidance for creators. As we grapple with whether existing laws can adequately address these revolutionary AI-driven innovations or if entirely new legal frameworks are needed, the complexities surrounding AI-generated content continue to grow. Ultimately, this Note contends that the use of data training to emulate specific artists in AI-generated music should be deemed not only as copyright infringement but also as a violation of individuals’ rights of publicity. This Note also aims to contribute to the ongoing discourse surrounding AI-generated content and to advocate for a more equitable and transparent framework that balances innovation with ethical considerations and respect for creative and personal rights.
