Stars are standing against the use of artificial intelligence in the music industry.

On Monday, the Artists Rights Alliance published a petition against AI music generated-technology and the potential threat it holds in the music industry — and stars like Katy Perry, Billie Eilish and Miranda Lambert are onboard.

"We, the undersigned members of the artist and songwriting communities, call on AI developers, technology companies, platforms and digital music services to cease the use of artificial intelligence to infringe upon and devalue the rights of human artists," the petition began.

"Make no mistake: we believe that, when used responsibly, AI has enormous potential to advance human creativity and in a manner that enables the development and growth of new and exciting experiences for music fans everywhere."

"Unfortunately, some platforms and developers are employing AI to sabotage creativity and undermine artists, songwriters, musicians and rightsholders," the petition continued.

Concluding, "We call on all AI developers, technology companies, platforms and digital music services to pledge that they will not develop or deploy AI music-generation technology, content or tools that undermine or replace the human artistry of songwriters and artists or deny us fair compensation for our work."

The petition has already been signed by several artists including: Billy Porter, Brothers Osborne, Camila Cabello, Darius Rucker, FINNEAS, Imagine Dragons, J Balvin, Jonas Brothers, Jon Bon Jovi Kate Hudson, Metro Boomin, Noah Kahan, Norah Jones, Pearl Jam, Sheryl Crow, Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder, Zayn Malik and more.

In the past few months, several artists have spoken out against the use of AI-generated music.

In September, Queen's Brian May spoke to Guitar Player about his thoughts on artificial intelligence and how it could influence music.

"My major concern with it now is in the artistic area. I think by this time next year the landscape will be completely different. We won’t know which way is up. We won’t know what’s been created by AI and what’s been created by humans," May told the outlet.

The musician added, "Everything is going to get very blurred and very confusing, and I think we might look back on 2023 as the last year when humans really dominated the music scene. I really think it could be that serious, and that doesn’t fill me with joy. It makes me feel apprehensive, and I’m preparing to feel sad about this."

Then, in November, Bad Bunny expressed his frustration with an AI track using his voice. At the time, the Puerto Rican star shared his thoughts on the track, titled "Demo #5: Nostalgia," on his WhatsApp channel, which fans shared on X (formerly known as Twitter).

“There are people who I understand, and people I don’t… There are people who I connect with, and people I don’t,” he began.

The "Monaco" singer added, "If you guys like that s---ty song that is viral on TikTok, leave this group right now. You guys don’t deserve to be my friends."
