美國司法部近日起訴了一名52歲的美國公民Michael Smith,因為Smith利用機器人帳號及包括AI在內的各種技術欺騙了Amazon Music、Apple Music、SpotifyYouTube Music,詐取了高達1,000萬美元的版稅。

上述的音樂串流平臺都會在播放歌曲時,將特定比例的版稅發送給音樂家與詞曲作者,於是Smith便在這些平臺上建立了數千個機器人帳戶,再利用軟體要求這些機器人不停地串流屬於Smith的音樂,估計每天串流相關歌曲的次數達66.1萬次,每年可替Smith創造120萬美元的版權收入。

由於如果某首音樂被串流超過10億次就會引起平臺的關注,使得Smith決定要生產更多的音樂,並於2018年與一家AI音樂業者合作,透過AI快速創作了數十萬首音樂,這些音樂不僅有不同的名稱,Smith還替它們建立了不同的作者,以用來詐騙串流平臺。

總之,Smith利用數千個機器人帳戶,播放了數十億次、由AI創作,屬於Smith的音樂,並讓Smith獲得了超過1,000萬美元的版稅。

Smith被指控的罪名包括電信詐欺、電信詐欺共謀,以及洗錢共謀等,每個罪名的最高刑期皆為20年。
