New tech makes songs invisible to AI, protecting artists from copycats
- Researchers have developed HarmonyCloak, a program that makes songs 'unlearnable' by AI without affecting how they sound to human listeners.
- HarmonyCloak uses undetectable perturbations to add slight changes or new notes that are masked by the original song's notes, making them hard for AI to detect.
- Human listeners rated the original and protected versions of the songs similarly for sound quality, while AI-generated music based on the 'unlearnable' songs performed much worse.
- HarmonyCloak offers a solution for protecting artists' work from unauthorized copying or AI mimicking their style, allowing artists to share their music freely.
