The AI music that plagiarized Taylor Swift, went viral on social media and now can't stop playing on Brazilian radios

BBC News Brasil31 August 2026 at 11:57

The song "A Sina de Ofélia", created with artificial intelligence, became viral on Brazilian social media. The song is inspired by a Taylor Swift hit and uses the cloning of the voices of Brazilian singers Dilsinho and Luísa Sonza without prior authorization from the artists. The use of AI to reproduce the voices of well-known artists has generated controversy in the national music scene.

After going viral on social media, the song started playing continuously on Brazilian radios, accumulating thousands of plays. The growing exposure on radio stations contrasts with the controversy surrounding the song's origin and the legal issues involving unauthorized use of voices and compositions.

The situation concerns the artistic and legal communities, as the massive reproduction of the song on radios may constitute a crime of copyright infringement and unauthorized use of image and voice. The cloning of voices through artificial intelligence without the consent of artists raises questions about the protection of personality rights and current legislation on intellectual property in Brazil.

Governor of the Bank of England warns that advanced AI models pose risk to financial system

The Governor of the Bank of England, Andrew Bailey, warned in a letter to finance ministers and central bank governors of the G20 that advanced artificial intelligence models can materially alter the speed, scale and economics of cyber risk, threatening to undermine confidence in the global financial system due to the high concentration of external service providers.
