The movement to counter unregulated AI usage initially gained traction among writers, who were among the first to voice concerns over AI’s potential to replicate their creative styles without consent. Early on, groups like the Authors Guild led legal challenges, arguing that AI models, often trained on extensive datasets without permission, posed serious risks to intellectual property and to writers’ livelihoods. Writers emphasized that the capacity of AI to mimic distinctive writing styles compromised the integrity of their work, underscoring the need for transparency and ethical guidelines.

This early advocacy by writers set the stage for other creatives, including artists and musicians, to join the push for responsible AI use. Musicians such as Radiohead and The Cure soon voiced similar concerns. Both Thom Yorke of Radiohead and Robert Smith of The Cure have argued that AI-driven music could replicate their styles without permission, eroding the authenticity of their work. As AI’s role in art expands, these musicians and other creatives continue to emphasize that technology should not overshadow the human essence in artistic expression.

“The unlicensed use of creative works for training generative AI is a major, unjust threat to the livelihoods of the people behind those works, and must not be permitted.”Statement of AI training 28,542 Signatories

Creative work, whether written, visual, or musical, carries the essence of its creator. AI can complement but should never compromise that personal integrity. This united front highlights the need for transparent data use and ethical AI guidelines to protect creative rights. Together, artists, writers, and musicians advocate for a future where technology respects the foundation of human creativity.
