RIAA Urges Government to Add AI Voice Cloning Sites to Piracy Watchlist, Calls Out Voicify.AI Specifically

The RIAA wants the US government to add AI voice cloning sites to its piracy watchlist, calling out Voicify.AI specifically.

The RIAA believes Voicify.AI lets users rip YouTube videos and use AI models to create unauthorized derivative works.

The law around AI voice cloning and likeness rights is unclear, though the RIAA argues it infringes artists' rights.

Artists like Grimes have embraced AI voice models but control their distribution. Labels like UMG also work with AI voice licensing.

The RIAA named several stream-ripping, download, and torrent sites alongside AI voice cloning in its recommendations to the USTR.
