AI song covers mimicking artists' voices could do 'harm' to music industry

If you've been on TikTok recently you might have spotted some unusual artist song covers floating around, with The Weeknd singing Hannah Montana or Harry Styles duetting Ceilings with Lizzy McAlpine.

"But it's not real," sings Lizzy in the hit song that went viral on TikTok - an appropriate song for this duet since Harry's voice in the cover isn't actually real, it's made by artificial intelligence (AI).

These AI covers are everywhere on TikTok right now, varying in success at mimicking the voices of popular artists but concern has been raised that this technology could become a danger to real musicians and the industry as a whole.
