What happened: Sony has taken down 135,000 'deepfake' tracks that falsely used its artists' music, citing the rise of AI technology enabling fake uploads on streaming services.
Why it matters:
- Protects artists' rights and prevents misleading content from spreading online.
- Highlights challenges streaming platforms face with AI-generated fake media.
MNN Take: As AI tools become more accessible, companies like Sony are working to identify and remove unauthorised content to safeguard intellectual property and maintain trust in digital music platforms.
