AI’s power to generate images and sounds would not kill talent, but should be embraced as the pioneers of the film industry embraced the moving image and then sound in the early 20th century, he said. The French musician’s comments were in stark contrast to deep anxieties about AI that have been expressed by other leading musicians including Elton John and Dua Lipa, in particular about models being trained on copyrighted material without clearance or compensation.
