    COPYRIGHT infringement, legal liability and unequal representation – these are some of the pitfalls to navigate in regulating artificial intelligence (AI), according to a panel of experts at the Asia Tech x Singapore conference on Wednesday (Jun 7).

    A prime case study is how recent videos duplicated the voice of Singaporean singer Stefanie Sun, using AI to make covers of other songs. The artiste’s management label reportedly did not consider legal action due to a lack of regulation around AI.

    Referencing the incident, panellist Zeng Yi from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) noted that the rise of generative AI has stirred concerns around intellectual property (IP) protection laws.
