Abstract
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence has revolutionized the music industry, enabling the creation of deepfake voices and AI-generated performances that closely mimic real artists. While these technologies offer innovative opportunities for creativity, personalization, and accessibility, they simultaneously raise profound ethical concerns. This paper examines the ethical implications surrounding the use of AI to replicate vocal performances and produce synthetic artists. Key issues include consent, intellectual property rights, authenticity, potential misuse of deceased or living artists’ likenesses, and the broader impact on artistic integrity. Furthermore, the paper explores the potential consequences for employment within the industry, fan trust, and cultural identity. By analyzing current case studies, legal frameworks, and stakeholder perspectives, this research aims to foster a balanced discourse on how the music industry can responsibly navigate the intersection of technological innovation and ethical responsibility.
