Motown pioneer Smokey Robinson<\/a> says there’s a not-so “Quiet Storm” blowing through our lives with the emergence of A.I. … and he suggests artists do what they can to protect themselves.<\/p>\n

The soul and R&B legend told us at LAX Monday he thinks A.I. is “probably one of the most dangerous things that’s ever happened.”<\/p>\n

According to Smokey, the only thing you can do to fight people using A.I. against you is try to own your image and likeness — something he’s already done.<\/p>\n

Smokey admits he can’t stop anyone from using his image without his permission, but he can “react”. The 85-year-old singer, warned not to try any funny stuff with his image and likeness “if you don’t want to get in trouble.”<\/p>\n

“It’s a real scary situation when somebody can just take your image and take your voice and a lot of people don’t even know the difference,” Smokey said. “That’s very scary — especially when you’re in show business.”<\/p>\n

Remember … Sora — the app that allows users to create high-definition videos that feature real living people and historical figures — got in hot water with OpenAI after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.<\/a>‘s daughter, Bernice King, pointed out “disrespectful depictions” of her late father.<\/p>\n

OpenAI subsequently paused A.I.-generated depictions of the civil-rights icon as the company “strengthens guardrails for historical figures.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Smokey Robinson Just My A.I.
