This isn’t the first time the Black Eyed Peas member has broached the topic of AI. During an interview on SiriusXM in early 2023, will.i.am advocated for artists’ rights to their likeness in the rise of AI. “We all have voices and everyone’s compromised because there are no rights or ownership to your facial math or your voice frequency. You’re getting a FaceTime or a Zoom call and because there’s no intelligence on the call, there’s nothing to authenticate an AI call or a person call,” he said at the time. “That’s the urgent thing, protecting our facial math. I am my face math. I don’t own that. I own the rights to ‘I Got A Feeling,’ I own the rights to the songs I wrote, but I don’t own the rights to my face or my voice?”
