Celine Dion Fiercely Slams Unauthorized AI-Generated Music Exploiting Her Voice and Image!
Celine Dion, the iconic songstress, is alerting her fans about the rise of artificial intelligence-generated music featuring her voice. The legendary singer’s team took to Instagram on Friday to notify fans about the “unsanctioned” use of her name, likeness, and musical performances in AI-created songs.
A Clear Message From Dion’s Team
Dion’s team made it clear that these AI-generated tracks are fake and unauthorized . The statement read: “Please be advised that these recordings are fake and not approved, and are not songs from her official discography.” The warning has sparked concern, but it remains unclear what specifically triggered the announcement. Despite the growing issue, Dion continues to work on official music projects. Most recently, she contributed to the soundtrack of her 2024 documentary, I Am: Celine Dion, which showcases her greatest hits.
Celine Dion’s Health Struggles and Limited Performances
Dion, 56, has faced significant health challenges since revealing her diagnosis of Stiff-Person Syndrome in 2022, a condition that forced her to cancel several live performances, including her planned world tour and Las Vegas residency. However, she made a triumphant return in 2024, performing at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony. Fans were also treated to her appearance in the 2023 romantic comedy Love Again, where she played a fictionalized version of herself, releasing five original songs for the film’s soundtrack.
The Rise of AI-Generated Music
AI-generated music has become a growing issue in recent years. In 2023, a viral song, “Heart on My Sleeve,” used AI to mimic the voices of popular artists Drake and The Weeknd, sparking widespread debate. Similarly, in 2024, Universal Music Group temporarily pulled its artists’ music from TikTok, citing the increasing issue of AI-generated content.
Artists Speak Out Against AI in Music
Celine Dion is not alone in voicing concerns over AI’s impact on music. In January 2024, former Beatle Paul McCartney warned about the dangers of AI, stressing that it could “rip off” artists. He urged the UK government to ensure that future copyright reforms protect the interests of creative professionals. As AI technology continues to evolve, it remains a contentious topic for the music industry.
