The advent of AI technology raises troubling concerns about the digital recreation of deceased musicians for live performances. An AI-generated tribute by Rod Stewart featuring Ozzy Osbourne posing for selfies with other deceased celebrities sparked social media backlash for its lack of respect. Critics argue that using someone's likeness posthumously without consent is ethically problematic. The intent behind the tribute does not diminish the concern of exploitation. Historical comments from artists like Prince also highlight longstanding discomfort with such practices.
The use of AI technology to create lifelike performances or tributes of deceased musicians raises serious ethical concerns, particularly regarding the autonomy and consent of the individuals involved.
Rod Stewart's recent AI-generated tribute to Ozzy Osbourne, where Osbourne poses for selfies with other dead celebrities, has stirred controversy and accusations of disrespect.
The digital command over the likenesses of deceased artists, especially when they cannot object, blurs ethical lines and risks turning memories into exploitation of their images.
Prince expressed disdain for such practices back in 1998, calling them 'the most demonic thing imaginable,' highlighting long-standing ethical issues with digital reanimation.
