AI Music: An Emerging Crisis

Many artists contend that the platforms employ "large-scale scraping" of copyrighted music to develop the capacity to generate high-quality music in mere seconds, while emulating the distinct styles and vocal patterns of well-known artists without their permission or remuneration (Artist Rights Alliance).

这些平台通过对受版权保护的音乐进行“大规模抓取”，获得了在几秒钟内生成高质量音乐的能力，并能在未经许可、未支付报酬的情况下模仿知名艺术家的独特风格和声音（艺术家权利联盟）。

Major music companies have initiated lawsuits against the companies, asserting damages amounting to billions of dollars, as the AI companies are "committing industrial-scale infringement" and diminishing the essence of the craftsmanship behind music (RIAA v. Suno Inc.).

各大音乐公司已对这些 AI 公司提起诉讼，索赔金额高达数十亿美元，理由是它们正在“进行工业规模的侵权”，严重削弱了音乐创作背后的工艺本质（RIAA 诉 Suno 公司案）。

This is because, according to musicians, the "technologies being developed are not creating new art, they are recombining existing human expression into a hollow simulacrum" and threatening the very existence and sustenance of songwriters and musicians (Livingston).

正如许多音乐人所说，这是因为“当前开发的技术并不是在创造新的艺术，而是把现有的人类表达拼凑成一个空洞的幻影”，最终威胁到词曲作者和音乐家的生存与生计（Livingston）。

This technological leap is considered an "assault on human creativity," and the main perpetrators are the tech conglomerates, which are only interested in commodifying art as a data-driven utility.

这种技术飞跃被视为“对人类创造力的攻击”，而背后的主要推手是科技巨头——他们只关心如何把艺术商品化，变成一种数据驱动的工具。

In the end, the music industry is fighting to establish human-centric protections rather than letting algorithms define the future of music. In asserting the legality of "art requires an artist," the industry is taking a definitive stand to ensure that the "soul" of music is maintained as a human endeavor in an increasingly automated world.

最终，音乐行业正在努力建立以人为本的保护机制，而不是让算法来定义音乐的未来。通过在法律上强调“艺术需要艺术家”，这个行业正在坚定地表明：在一个日益自动化的世界里，音乐的“灵魂”依然属于人类。

Even if AI is more efficient and prolific than any human artist, the humanity aspect cannot be taken out of the musical tradition. Amid all the algorithmic clamor comes Double Helix, a group of student musicians that showcases the fact that true art cannot be synthesized but has to come from the soul of people.
