Martin Clancy was quoted by The Ringer discussing the ethics of fake AI artists, and the use of AI in music.

Pinning down the rights around an artist’s sonic likeness is tricky. As it stands, “transformative” content, like a parody, is considered fair use. However, determining whether a work is “transformative” of its source material versus an outright rip-off can be tricky. “It’s also the fact that you’re passing off the personality rights of Drake in his voice,” AI music expert Dr. Martin Clancy said. “And that’s a situation that [we’ve] never really been faced with before.”
