Grimes, who has no label or legal bindings, has been an active participant in the world of AI, having previously collaborated with mood music startup Endel to launch an AI-generated lullaby app in 2020. The musician has expressed enthusiasm for the potential of AI in art, predicting in 2019 that “the end of art, human art” could be imminent once AI can fully master science and art, which could happen within the next 20 to 30 years. Grimes’ offer comes after the removal of an AI-generated song featuring simulated voices of Drake and The Weeknd, which Universal Music Group (UMG) called a breach of its agreements and copyright law.
