Singers who contribute singing data face significant harms from downstream non-consensual use including vocal deepfakes and voice cloning.

By July 2026, researchers examined singing data collection as AI voice synthesis advanced, analyzing three singing datasets with the Ethically Aligned Stakeholder Elicitation framework. They found data-contributors have event-centric roles with minimal authority over licensing and access, while data-collectors retain control.
