O tym odcinku

<p>AI music generators are not only the product of scraped (read: stolen) music, they&rsquo;re also threatening the livelihood of musicians. But there are people who are finding ways to fight back &ndash; by using a technique called poison pilling. This week, Dexter talks to two of them: Benn Jordan, a musician and YouTuber who developed a tool called Poisonify, and Jian Liu, the lead developer of HarmonyCloak and Music Shield. These programs add imperceptible noise to a music file rendering it indecipherable to an AI model &ndash; and we got to test out how these work with our own theme song.</p> <p>Read + Watch:&nbsp;</p> <p>Benn&rsquo;s YouTube video &ndash; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMYm2d9bmEA">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMYm2d9bmEA</a></p> <p>Jian Liu and Syed Irfan&rsquo;s paper on HarmonyCloak &ndash; <a href="https://mosis.eecs.utk.edu/publications/meerza2024harmonycloak.pdf">https://mosis.eecs.utk.edu/publications/meerza2024harmonycloak.pdf</a></p> <p>Got something you&rsquo;re curious about?
