Ice Cube threatens lawsuit against anyone who uses AI to recreate his voice

American actor Ice Cube is not taking any chances with artificial intelligence after making it clear he will sue anyone that uses the technology to create a song with his likeness.

During an interview with the Full Send podcast, the West Coast rap legend took time to reflect on the growing trend of people using artificial intelligence to create songs that incorporate an artist’s likeness without full consent.

According to Cube, he’s not afraid to go the legal route if someone made a track without his permission.

“I don’t wanna hear an AI Drake song,” he said. “Yeah, I don’t wanna hear that bullshit. He should sue whoever made it.”

The topic eventually turned to what would happen if he found himself in a similar situation, and that’s when Cube went off.

“It’s like a sample, you know what I mean? Somebody can’t take your original voice and manipulate it without having to pay. I think A.I. is demonic [and] I think A.I. is going to get a backlash from organic people,” he said.
