Loeb & Loeb Litigation partner Tal Dickstein appeared as a special guest on an episode of BBC’s “Talking Business” series, a weekly show that explores business stories and economic trends. Tal discussed the impact of AI-generated music on the broader music industry, particularly the challenges artists face as mass-produced content risks overwhelming their work and complicating career sustainability.
"Technology up until now has been seen as supportive to creatives and people who make their living in the music industry,” Tal said. “I think some of the concern now is that with the widespread ability of AI music generation tools, anybody—individuals or large companies—can create music at scale. They would simply flood the market and make it harder for actual human musicians to make a living doing this—in and around the industry—to continue to support their creative efforts.”
He also noted recent changes to right of publicity laws in certain U.S. states.
“Voice is something that is protected by the publicity laws, so someone does have a right to their voice and to prevent digital replicas of their voice,” Tal said. “Also to extend it to ‘noncommercial uses,’ so even if the voice replica is not being used to advertise or market some goods or services, if it’s used to clone their voice to perform in a song they never actually performed in, there are some states who have amended their laws to make that impermissible.”
