California has already passed legislation requiring AI developers to disclose the data they use to train their models, a move that could influence national policy.<\/p>\n<p>Glazier compared the current AI disruption to the Napster era, when the music industry fought back against illegal file sharing.<\/p>\n<p>The music executive stressed that while AI can mimic sound, it can\u2019t replicate the emotional connection between an artist and their audience. \u201cThere has to be a connection between a human artist and a fan,\u201d he said. \u201cThat connection is what unites an audience and an artist, and it\u2019s something AI can never replicate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Glazier\u2019s talk came as Congress continues to debate AI legislation and artists push for stronger protections in an increasingly automated industry.<\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/allhiphop.com\/news\/riaa-ceo-warns-of-ais-impact-on-music-copyright-law\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recording Industry Association of America CEO Mitch Glazier spotlighted artificial intelligence and copyright law during a recent campus visit to Middle Tennessee State University, where he urged students to help shape the future of music.
