As MusicTech report, Dan Stein – aka DJ Fresh – has unveiled his new AI software, Voice-Swap, which allows artists’ voices to be protected and safeguarded.
According to the press release, the software is distant from other AI platforms “embroiled in copyright infringement controversies,” as Voice-Swap “stands firms on protecting artists’ rights, ensuring fair compensation every time their voice is employed”.
It states that Voice-Swap is an example of how AI can be used responsibly and ethically, as it ensures that all artists are provided with a pro-rata share of the revenue generated from their voice model usage.
To be a part of Voice-Swap, you need to upload 25 minutes of singing, or 8 A Capella tracks to the site. From that, the software will create a digital clone which can then be used by subscribers.
It appears that Voice-Swap seems to be the first AI software that has an artist-payment model at the forefront, which is certainly a positive direction.
