Singer Che Linh criticizes AI copyright infringements

Singer Che Linh has raised concerns regarding the unauthorized use of artists' images and music through artificial intelligence. During a recent visit to Ho Chi Minh City, the singer expressed that the current state of AI-generated content is “very complex” and “unacceptable.”

Che Linh stated that he and many other artists have experienced copyright infringements. He noted that while artists may consent to live performances, this does not grant third parties the right to exclusively commercialize their likeness or recordings. He specifically highlighted the issue of AI being used to recreate his face and appearance for commercial purposes without his knowledge, describing the experience as “embarrassing.”

While expressing gratitude to fans for using technology to restore old songs and images for sentimental purposes, he cautioned that such technology should not be used to profit from the likeness of others.
