The massive attack justifies this decision of the “important investments” of the founder of Spotify, Daniel EK, in a society specialized in military artificial intelligence and combat drones.
“The economic burden for a long time (by Spotify, an editor’s note) about artists is now aggravated by an ethical and moral burden,” writes the Bristol group.
Contacted by AFP, Spotify did not want to comment.
The founder and pattern of Spotify, Daniel EK presides over the company that manufactures “military” autonomous systems reinforced by artificial intelligence “, according to its website. The company recently denied that its drones are used in “other conflict areas that Ukraine.”
Due to these investments and remuneration considered too weak granted to artists, the Swedish transmission giant is the objective of a online boycott call campaign.
