Culture has long been aware of the [[threat posed by machines]](https://english.elpais.com/culture/2023-07-04/how-technology-colonized-our-bodies-minds-and-souls.html#_blank). It has been imagined in countless films, novels, and video games. Now, however, thousands of artists believe that the dystopia is encroaching on their real lives. The threat does not come from robots with machine guns --- but rather artificial intelligence (AI) programs capable of stealing their works, and eventually their livelihoods. Specifically, the music and audiovisual sectors are at risk of losing, respectively, a quarter and a fifth of their global revenue by 2028, according to the [[first study ]](https://www.cisac.org/Newsroom/news-releases/global-economic-study-shows-human-creators-future-risk-generative-ai#_blank)on the potential economic impact of generative AI on the arts. If left unregulated, AI's advance could have severe consequences, according to the study, commissioned by CISAC, the global organization that unites major copyright management entities. The research --- which provides concrete figures on the economic impact of AI on the arts --- aims to spark debate about the future of the sector and, more importantly, to find solutions. Until now, many creators have responded to this latest and most powerful technological revolution with a mix of prophetic warnings and complaints, both publicly and [[in court]](https://english.elpais.com/technology/2024-01-24/ai-in-art-creativity-or-plagiarism.html#_blank). The study highlights legal cases against Stability AI and Midjourney, as well as lawsuits filed by several major music companies against Suno and Udio.
