Nicki Minaj and Cardi B Unite for a Surprising Cause, The Battle Against AI Fakes

 

In the midst of their ongoing feud, Nicki Minaj and Cardi B have found common ground in an unexpected arena: the fight for a new AI regulation law. The bipartisan No Artificial Intelligence Fake Replicas And Unauthorized Duplications Act, playfully known as “No AI FRAUD,” has brought together over 300 artists, including the two rap rivals, to sign an open letter supporting its introduction in the U.S. Congress.

Joining the likes of 21 Savage, Chuck D, Common, Mary J. Blige, Missy Elliott, Questlove, and Smokey Robinson, the artists are advocating for federal protection against unchecked replication of voices and likenesses using AI technology. The Human Artistry Campaign (H.A.C.) has taken the lead, publishing the letter as a prominent ad in USA Today to raise awareness about the legislation, emphasizing the defense of individuals’ rights and protection against nonconsensual deepfakes.

The “No AI FRAUD” Act follows a set of core tenets outlined by H.A.C. earlier in the year, including the necessity for proper licensing for artistic works used in AI models and limitations on the government’s ability to exploit exemptions in intellectual property law. This legislation comes hot on the heels of the “NO FAKES” Act from the previous year, with Representatives María Elvira Salazar, Rob Wittman, Nathaniel Moran, Madeleine Dean, and Joe Morelle leading the charge.

Rep. Salazar expressed the urgency of holding bad actors accountable, stating, “It’s time for bad actors using AI to face the music. This bill plugs a hole in the law and gives artists and U.S. citizens the power to protect their rights, their creative work, and their fundamental individuality online.” Interestingly, Tennessee’s Governor Bill Lee proposed a similar legislation on the same day, known as the Ensuring Likeness Voice and Image Security, or the “ELVIS” Act.

Despite differing opinions on many matters, “No AI FRAUD” received widespread support from industry giants such as the Recording Academy and Universal Music Group, showcasing a rare alignment of interests between Cardi B and Nicki Minaj.
