Canadian singer Grimes came out in support Monday of using her voice to generate songs with the help of artificial intelligence, as long as the creators donate half of the rights to the new titles.
The 35-year-old composer, producer and performer explained that this distribution of rights would be equivalent to a collaboration “with any artist”, in a message posted on Instagram.
“Feel free to use my voice without restrictions,” he insisted. “I have no label or legal obligations” to a third party, record company or distributor, she assured.

The sharp post from the electronic music artist came days after an anonymous TikTokeur posted an actual fake duet between Canadian singers Drake and The Weeknd, generated using artificial intelligence.
Listened to millions of times, “Heart on my Sleeve” was removed from TikTok within days of being posted, at the request of Universal Music, the record label of the two singers.
Since the presentation, at the end of November, of the ChatGPT conversational robot, the debate has been unleashed around the data used to generate new content and respect for intellectual property.
Grimes is the former partner of Elon Musk, with whom he had two children, one of them by surrogate mother.
The businessman has an ambivalent attitude towards artificial intelligence, which he said could lead to the “destruction of civilization”, but in which he invests heavily.
