An AI-generated song titled Heaven’s Echo, falsely attributed to Justin Bieber and Jung Kook, has gone viral, accumulating nearly 2 million views on YouTube. The track, uploaded by a channel named “ViVO tunes,” features AI-generated vocals resembling the artists and religious themes, sparking debates about the ethical and legal implications of AI-generated music.
This incident is part of a growing trend where AI is used to create songs mimicking real artists. Similar videos, such as We All Need Jesus, have also gained traction across social media, especially on TikTok. While some creators include disclaimers stating that the content is AI-generated and not associated with the actual artists, concerns persist over potential audience confusion. The use of channel names resembling official music platforms further adds to the issue.
As AI-generated music becomes more widespread, industry experts are calling for clearer regulations to prevent misinformation and protect artists’ rights. The debate highlights the increasing challenge of distinguishing between authentic and AI-created content in the digital era.
