However, some musicians like Daniel Lyon of Spirit Award, an indie band focused on capturing the human spirit, see AI-generated music as devaluing art and music. Lyon argues that music has always featured a powerfully human aspect and serves as a way for emotional connection and furthering communities. He believes that adding a non-human aspect takes something indescribable away from it.
The copyright aspect of AI-generated music is also being called into question. Ek has expressed legitimate concerns regarding what constitutes actual copyright and who owns the right to something, such as a track that is claimed to be Drake’s but is not. Ek is working with Spotify’s partners to establish a position that allows for innovation while protecting all creators on the platform.
