Revising research practices for singing data collection

Abstract As AI voice synthesis enables increasingly sophisticated vocal deepfakes and non-consensual voice cloning, the governance, licensing and access of singing datasets has become an urgent concern for data-contributors, who face significant harms from downstream and non-consensual usage of their singing data. Singing datasets are foundational to the development of high fidelity voice AI synthesis, yet current data collection practices pose challenges: data-contributors have an event-centric contribution to…

Christopher Nolan says people ‘disdain’ AI and the idea it will replace humans is ‘nonsense’

The Oscar-winning director Christopher Nolan believes the kind of movies he makes – big-budget action films shot mostly on location – would survive the spread of artificial intelligence, a technology he says many people “disdain”. The Oppenheimer and The Dark Knight director is promoting his latest blockbuster, an adaptation of the Greek epic The Odyssey, which will be released in cinemas this week. “The interesting thing with AI is I’ve never seen a technology that’s been so successfully adopted by Wall Street…

Rage against the machines: ignore the fury at Wimbledon, AI in sport works | Sean Ingle

We are all suckers for a good story. And there was certainly a cracking two‑parter at Wimbledon this year. First came the news that 300 line judges had been replaced by artificial intelligence robots. Then, a few days later, it turned out there were some embarrassing gremlins in the machine. Not since Roger Federer hung up his Wilson racket has there been a sweeter spot hit during the Wimbledon fortnight. First the new electronic line-judging system failed to spot that Sonay Kartal had whacked a ball long during he

Jean-Michel Jarre urges music and film industries to embrace AI

Jean-Michel Jarre has attacked the conservatism of the music and film industries over AI and urged them to embrace the technology instead of being fearful and “very anti-AI”. Jarre, one of the pioneers of electronic music in the 1970s, said while the existing creative industries were “freaking out” over the technology, artists would use AI “to create the cinema of tomorrow, the hip-hop of tomorrow, the techno of tomorrow, the rock’n’roll of tomorrow”. AI’s power to generate images and sounds would not kill talent,

UK actors vote to refuse to be digitally scanned in pushback against AI

Actors have voted to refuse digital scanning to prevent their likeness being used by artificial intelligence in a pushback against AI in the arts. Members of the performing arts union Equity were asked if they would refuse to be scanned while on set, a common practice in which actors’ likeness is captured for future use – with 99% voting in favour of the move. The general secretary, Paul Fleming, said: “Artificial intelligence is a generation-defining challenge. And for the first time in a generation, Equity’s film

As AI floods our culture, here’s why we must protect human storytelling in games

A few days ago, I clicked a button on my phone to send funds to a company in Singapore and so took ownership of the video game I co-created and am lead writer for: Zombies, Run! I am a novelist, I wrote the bestselling, award-winning The Power, which was turned into an Amazon Prime TV series starring Toni Collette. What on earth am I doing buying a games company? Well. First of all. Zombies, Run! is special. It’s special to me – the game started as a Kickstarter and the community that grew up around it has always b
