Tennessee Governor Introduces Legislation to Protect Artists from AI

Tennessee Governor Bill Lee recently announced new legislation aimed at safeguarding the rights of songwriters, performers, and other music industry professionals against the potential dangers of artificial intelligence (AI). The legislation, which is yet to be formally introduced in the Tennessee Legislature, aims to ensure that AI tools cannot replicate an artist’s voice without their consent. Governor Lee unveiled the proposal at Nashville’s renowned RCA Studio A, with prominent figures from the music industry and lawmakers in attendance. The Governor expressed his hopes that Tennessee’s legislation would serve as a blueprint for other states.
