Ava Max calls for artist protection, fair compensation and legal frameworks around AI

Ava Max calls for artist protection, fair compensation, and stronger legal frameworks around AI during her Concordia interview with President Iván Duque.

Ava participated in the pivotal panel discussion "The Role of AI in the Music Industry," and seized the moment to voice deep concerns and champion the rights of artists in an era where artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping music.

During the conversation, Ava shared a personal experience that ignited her mission to advocate for artists' rights and push for legislative change. A few months ago, Ava was presented with a demo of an AI-generated track featuring her voice—a song she had never recorded.
“I was terrified,” Ava recalled. “Hearing my voice on a track I never touched made me realize how fast AI is advancing—and how unprotected artists and their teams are.” That moment spurred her to take action, recognizing the urgent need for a legal framework to protect creators from the rapid encroachment of AI.

"We need to start thinking about intellectual property in the age of AI—should artists be compensated when their music is used to train AI models?" Ava posed. She passionately advocated for a system that ensures artists are fairly compensated when their work contributes to AI advancements.

"I think we can all agree that AI doesn't have a soul," she stated during her conversation with with President Duque. 

Ava elaborated on the irreplaceable human element in artistry.
"It takes blood, sweat, tears, hours, long days, and sometimes even months to make a song. AI can generate 150 iterations in less than half a second, but where's the creator behind that?"

Amanda called for immediate legislative action to protect singers, songwriters, producers, and engineers from the rapid advancements of AI. "Ultimately, AI-generated music shouldn't come at the cost of devaluing the human artistry it learns from," she asserted.

Ava also added: "I love what I do and I'll always love it, but I never had a thing with fame or numbers. I never cared. I just do it because I am passionate about music. There is always a bigger purpose. To help people and that is my #1 purpose in life."

Good for her honestly, artists need to be protected by these technologies

well she's got a point. these AI companies literally stole everybody's content without even asking. there are more important things for AI to be getting on with than taking away artists livelihoods

Sounds like something AI would say

I'd replace music by creation. But she's right.

Yeah, not just artists, but everyone should be protected from AI
