(ARTISTA a favor desde que lhe paguem...)

While some music artists and their labels are increasingly becoming wary of those using AI models to clone their voices, others are choosing to ride the wave and embrace an AI-filled future.

Experimental artist and futurist Claire "Grimes" Boucher, for one, is looking at the new trend as an opportunity.

"I'll split 50 percent royalties on any successful AI-generated song that uses my voice," the artist tweeted in response to a story about Aubrey "Drake" Graham's voice being cloned for a viral song. "Same deal as I would with any artist I collab with."

"Feel free to use my voice without penalty," she added. "I have no label and no legal bindings."

In fact, Grimes admitted she was already "making a program that should simulate my voice well" in a followup, "but we could also upload stems and samples for people to train their own."

Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators of South Park and various other media over the years, have raised $20 million to continue work on their professional deepfake studio for creators, Deep Voodoo.

The company got its start during the media shutdown of 2020, when the pandemic prevented most travel and on-set productions. Parker and Stone had already begun assembling an AI artist team for a film they were developing, and when COVID intervened they focused on creating the tools for use later.

“We stumbled upon this amazing technology and ended up recruiting the best deepfake artists in the world,” Stone said in an announcement on Deep Voodoo’s site. I’ve reached out for more info and will update this post if I hear back.

Early last year, MyHeritage made use of deepfake technology to bring old photos of deceased loved ones to life. Deep Nostalgia went viral and more than 100 million animations have since been created. Now the genealogy company is back with LiveStory, which adds vocal storytelling to the mix.
"LiveStory takes storytelling to the next level," said MyHeritage founder and CEO, Gilad Japhet. "With this latest viral feature, MyHeritage continues to lead the world of online family history in both vision and innovation. Our use of AI to breathe new life into historical photos is unique and is helping millions of people cultivate a renewed emotional connection with their ancestors and deceased loved ones. Genealogy is all about telling and preserving our family stories. We keep showing the world how fun and compelling genealogy can be." https://newatlas.com/computers/myheritage-livestory/

Bruce Willis advertises a Russian cellular network operator without appearing in front of the camera. The Hollywood star has licensed his likeness for deepfake videos and images. A series of at least 15 commercials is planned, which together tell a story of two agents. One is played by the Russian comedian Asamat Musaghaliev, the other by his compatriot Konstantin Solowjow. His face cannot be seen – it is replaced by Willis’ face (so-called face-swapping). https://marketresearchtelecast.com/bruce-willis-licenses-himself-for-deepfake-commercials/163276/

The synthetic voice industry sees how nefarious deepfake creators have been able to define the market for realistic video animations of people — and everyone wants to avoid the same fate. For many people familiar with deepfakes, the key market comprises real porn video digitally altered to show celebrities acting out lessons of the birds and the bees. It might have meant the hypothetical face-scanning of deceased mafia-busting U.S. Sen. Robert F. Kennedy into the movie The Godfather, but the legitimate industry was outflanked. https://www.biometricupdate.com/202109/synthetic-voice-industry-wants-as-much-distance-from-deepfakes-as-possible

Liri can juggle so many jobs, in multiple countries, because she has hired out her face to Hour One, a startup that uses people’s likenesses to create AI-voiced characters that then appear in marketing and educational videos for organizations around the world. It is part of a wave of companies overhauling the way digital content is produced. And it has big implications for the human workforce.  Liri does her waitressing and bar work in person, but she has little idea what her digital clones are up to. “It is definitely a bit strange to think that my face can appear in videos or ads for different companies,” she says. Hour One is not the only company taking deepfake tech mainstream, using it to produce mash-ups of real footage and AI-generated video. Some have used professional actors to add life to deepfaked personas. But Hour One doesn’t ask for any particular skills. You just need to be willing to hand over the rights to your face. https://www.technologyreview.com/2021/08/27/1033879/people-hiring-faces-work-deepfake-ai-marketing-clones/ out21

If you have been on the internet for some time, I’m sure you have come across the term “deepfake” at least once. The AI-based technology, initially used for academic purposes, has gained a fair amount of traction over the past few years and is continuously developing for various use-cases, be it making Elon Musk sing or inserting your face in a famous movie clip. Here comes the weird part though, some companies are buying faces of real individuals to create an army of deepfake clones for the marketing and educational industry. So yeah, you can now sell your face to a company! https://beebom.com/this-company-buys-face-to-create-deepfake-clone/ +

A musicista e compositora americana Holly Herndon parece estar capitalizando o princípio da tecnologia deepfake, permitindo que os fãs usem uma versão digital de si mesma para criar obras de arte originais.

De acordo com um anúncio de quinta-feira de Herndon no Twitter, os usuários que desejam fazer seus próprios deepfakes usando a voz e a imagem exclusivas da compositora terão a oportunidade de vender suas criações cunhadas usando token não fungível, ou NFT, no marketplace Zora. Herndon disse que os fãs podem enviar suas cópias digitais para serem aprovadas pelo DAO do projeto e receberão 50% dos lucros do leilão.

O projeto disse que inicialmente lançaria três “genesis” Holly + NFTs, juntamente com propostas do público, que serão cunhadas usando um contrato inteligente e leiloadas no Zora no próximo mês. Os usuários receberão metade de qualquer lucro, com 40% doado para o DAO e o restante para a própria Herndon. O preço de reserva para dois dos NFTs do gênesis é 15 Ether (ETH) - aproximadamente $ 48.150 no momento da publicação. https://cointelegraph.com.br/news/musician-sells-rights-to-deepfake-her-voice-using-nfts
