Celine Dion is raising her voice against the rise of artificial intelligence-generated music that misappropriates her likeness and artistic identity.

On March 7, the iconic singer shared her concerns through an Instagram post, stating, “It has come to our attention that unsanctioned, AI-generated music purporting to contain Celine Dion’s musical performances, and name and likeness, is currently circulating online and across various Digital Service Providers.” This alarming trend raises significant questions about copyright and the ethics of AI in music, compelling artists to protect their intellectual property rights in an ever-evolving digital landscape.

The message further emphasized, “Please be advised that these recordings are fake and not approved, and are not songs from her official discography.” This statement serves as a crucial reminder to fans and listeners about the importance of supporting authentic artistry and being discerning about the content they engage with in the age of digital music proliferation.

However, Dion did not specify which AI-generated songs or performances are currently circulating, leaving fans curious and concerned about the implications for the music industry. See her post here.

Dion made a triumphant return to the stage last year, showcasing her talent by performing Édith Piaf’s timeless 1950 classic “Hymne à L’Amour” on the Eiffel Tower during the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics in July. This remarkable event followed her cancellation of dates on her North American Courage world tour, revealing her ongoing battle with Stiff Person Syndrome, a rare neurological disorder characterized by debilitating muscle spasms. Dressed in a breathtaking white gown and accompanied by a piano, Dion captivated the audience with her flawless vocals, delivering the heartfelt lyrics of a song that speaks of eternal love.

In an interview with Vogue France earlier last year, she candidly shared, “I haven’t fought the illness; it’s still within me and will be forever.” Dion elaborated on her routine of undergoing athletic, physical, and vocal therapy five times a week. “Hopefully, we’ll find a miracle, a way to heal through scientific research, but I have to learn to live with it. I work on everything, from my toes to my knees, calves, fingers, singing, voice… It’s the condition I have to learn to live with now, by stopping questioning myself.” Her resilience and dedication to her craft remain evident, inspiring countless fans around the world.

She concluded her thoughts with a powerful statement: “There is one thing that will never stop, and that’s the desire. It’s the passion. It’s the dream. It’s the determination.” This sentiment resonates deeply, highlighting the indomitable spirit of artists who continue to shine despite challenges, reminding us all of the power of perseverance in pursuing one’s dreams.
