Peabo Bryson Fans Shock Music World as AI-Generated Duets Spark Copyright War in 2033
CHICAGO — A legal firestorm has erupted over the first-ever AI-generated duet with soul legend Peabo Bryson, as his estate sues a tech startup for "digital necromancy" after releasing a posthumous track featuring holographic vocals of the 73-year-old singer, set to redefine intellectual property law for a decade. The song—complete with a fully AI-rendered video of Bryson performing with a deceased 1990s diva—has gone viral, amassing 50 million views in 72 hours, but critics warn it could silence living artists or spawn a new era of unauthorized "ghost collaborations."
