CTOnews.com, October 12 (Xinhua)-- the recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) believes that artificial intelligence (AI) voice cloning is a potential threat of copyright infringement and has asked the US government to put it on the piracy supervision list.

In a filing with the US Trade Representative (USTR), the RIAA asked the government to include artificial intelligence voice clones in its "notorious market list". The "notorious market list" usually includes specific companies, websites or regions to warn users of possible copyright infringement.

CTOnews.com noted that RIAA named only one company in this field, Voicify.AI, which provided sound models for famous music artists such as Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift and Kanye West. In its comment letter, RIAA also listed some streaming download sites, unauthorized music download platforms and BitTorrent indexing sites.

The group believes that the site allows users to download videos from YouTube, copy the unaccompanied tracks, and then modify them using the AI sound model. "this unauthorized activity infringes not only the copyright, but also the reputation of the recording artist," RIAA said.

"2023 witnessed the outbreak of a large number of unauthorized AI sound cloning services, which infringed not only the rights of the artists who cloned the sounds, but also the rights of the owners of sound recordings in each underlying music repertoire," RIAA said in its comment letter. It added that AI sound cloning had led to a "proliferation of unauthorized derivative works".

AI voice cloning has developed rapidly in the past year, but there is no final conclusion on whether it is infringing or not.
