Daniel Ak, CEO of Spatifa, investigated artificial intelligence with a $ 5 million investment in a German -made weapons company, a wave of artists’ criticism and protest. In response to the move, the American Music Group deleted all of its works from the Spatfa Platform.
The investment was made at Helsing, an activist in the development of artificial intelligence and supervisory tools, in the form of a € 5m capital rally. In addition to the investor’s role, Daniel Ak is also chairman of the board of directors.
“We do not want our music to play a role in killing human beings,” Members of Deerhoof said in a statement. The group also called Spatifa “data mining” and has called on other artists not to cooperate with platforms that depend on the development of military technologies.
They added that leaving the spatfa was easy for them, as they were both paid for the platform and had serious ethical concerns. However, they insisted that other artists may not be able to do so.
Helsing was previously supported by the EK Investment Fund called Prima Materia and is now at the center of a hot discussion on the role of artificial intelligence in militarism.
This event again draws attention to a fundamental question: Should artificial intelligence remain with technology giants, even when there is war weapons?
