King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard have removed their music from Spotify as a response to CEO Daniel Ek's investments in AI military drone technology. They announced this decision via an Instagram statement indicating concern over Ek's role in funding AI military software through his involvement with Helsing, a German company specializing in such technologies. Other bands like Deerhoof and Xiu Xiu have also protested by withdrawing their music from Spotify for similar reasons, urging better practices from tech executives.
"A PSA to those unaware: Spotify CEO Daniel Ek invests millions in AI military drone technology."
"We just removed our music from the platform. Can we put pressure on these Dr. Evil tech bros to do better? Join us on another platform."
