Celine Dion speaks out against AI-Generated music using her voice
Celine Dion has expressed her disapproval of music that was produced by artificial intelligence and in which her voice was allegedly taken advantage of without her permission.
Taking to her official Instagram account on Friday, March 7, the singer, who is well known for her single "Heart Will Go On," addressed the issue of her voice being used online by an artificial intelligence without her permission.
"It has come to our attention that unsanctioned, AI-generated music purporting to contain Celine Dion's musical performances and name and likeness is currently circulating online and across various digital service providers," she stated at the beginning.
"Please be advised that these recordings are fake and not approved, and that they are not songs from her official discography," the five-time Grammy winner continued. "Please be aware of this."

Dion's tweet coincided with the growing anxiety among creative individuals, particularly musicians, regarding the possibility of artificial intelligence (AI) creating music without the permission of the artist and reaping profits from it.
In the year 2024, well over two hundred musicians have signed an open letter that condemns "AI music generation technology." This letter was drafted with the assistance of the Artists Rights Alliance.
The petition specifically states, "We, the undersigned members of the artist and songwriting communities, call on AI developers, technology companies, platforms, and digital music services to cease the use of artificial intelligence to infringe upon and devalue the rights of human artists."
Billie Eilish, Zayn Malik, Jon Bon Jovi, Katy Perry, Camila Cabello, and a great number of other well-known musicians were among the artists who signed the petition.
According to the official statement, we believe that, when used responsibly, AI has enormous potential to advance human creativity in a manner that enables the development and growth of new and exciting experiences for music fans everywhere.

Michael Jackson's dirty stage sock sells for nearly $9K at French auction - Jordan News
Michael Jackson's dirty stage sock sells for nearly $9K at French auction A dirty white sock once worn by the King of Pop has moonwalked its way back into the spotlight. اضافة اعلان The rhinestone-covered sock, worn by Michael Jackson during a 1997 show in the city of Nîmes, sold Wednesday for €7,688 — about $8,911 — at an auction house in southern France. The off-white stained sock, originally white and studded with crystal rhinestones, was discovered by a technician backstage after Jackson's HIStory World Tour performance. The sock was then preserved in a frame for 28 years, according to a French auctioneer. 'It really is an exceptional object — even a cult one for Michael Jackson fans,' auctioneer Aurore Illy told AFP. The sock was worn during Jackson's tour, which hit 35 countries and included 82 shows. Footage from it shows him performing 'Billie Jean' in the sparkling footwear. Auctioneers had estimated the item to be between €3,000 and €4,000, but it nearly doubled expectations. Though Jackson's legacy remains controversial due to longstanding child molestation allegations — which he and his estate denied — the market for his memorabilia continues to thrive. A Macau casino shelled out $350,000 in 2009 for the glittery glove he wore during his first televised moonwalk in 1983. In 2023, a Paris buyer paid over $80,000 for a fedora Jackson wore before that same performance. Months later, a black-and-white leather jacket from his 1984 Pepsi ad sold for $306,000. Jackson died in 2009 at age 50 from a fatal drug overdose. NYP

Natalie Portman backs "Israeli" anti-war protests, shares Gaza aid link
Hollywood actress Natalie Portman has drawn renewed attention to her stance on "Israel" and Palestine after sharing a series of Instagram Stories amplifying ongoing "Israeli" protests against the government. Among the posts was a call to donate to humanitarian efforts in Gaza, a rare move from a high-profile "Israeli"-American celebrity amid the ongoing war. Portman, who was born in Jerusalem and holds dual citizenship, shared content featuring demonstrators in Tel Aviv demanding an end to the war and the return of "Israeli" captives held in Gaza. One of the posts specifically pointed followers to a campaign collecting donations for Palestinian civilians affected by the genocide, a gesture likely to spark both praise and criticism across the political spectrum. The Oscar-winning actress has long held a nuanced position on the "Israeli"-Palestinian issue. In 2018, she famously declined to attend the Genesis Prize ceremony in "Israel", citing her distress over recent events and her refusal to appear as endorsing then-Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. 'Like many Israelis and Jews around the world, I can be critical of the leadership in Israel without wanting to boycott the entire nation,' she wrote at the time. Portman has previously criticized the "Israeli" nation-state law as "racist" and expressed concern about policies that, in her view, undermine equality and democracy. Yet, she has also remained firmly opposed to the BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) movement and has maintained her cultural ties to "Israel", including directing a Hebrew-language film in 2015.
