The truth about AI music

From the creator

Sky News' technology correspondent Rowland Manthorpe investigates the hidden world behind the explosion of AI-generated music and uncovers a vast fraud flooding streaming platforms. AI music engines can now create entire songs in seconds that sound indistinguishable from human-made music. But while the technology feels magical, Rowland reveals how it is being exploited by fraudsters to manipulate streaming algorithms and siphon billions of pounds away from real musicians. Fraudsters are using AI to mass-produce tracks and then deploying armies of bots to stream them over and over again, a system where robots listen to robot music, all to generate royalties. #ai #artificialintelligence #technology #music SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more videos: http://www.youtube.com/skynews Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/skynews Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/skynews Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skynews Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@skynews Sky News Daily podcast is available for free here: https://podfollow.com/skynewsdaily/ For more content go to http://news.sky.com and download our apps: Apple https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sky-news/id316391924?mt=8 Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skynews.android&hl=en_GB To enquire about licensing Sky News content, you can find more information here: https://news.sky.com/info/library-sales
