Gene Simmons

The KISS bassist has called for US State-wide wide and international laws to be brought in now to protect songwriters and musicians from losing their livelihoods to AI.

Speaking to Bloomberg TV, an impassioned Gene said: "AI is a concern if left unregulated. Anything — a beautiful horse that you just bring in, if it runs wild… You’ve got to have some parameters that we control. The government must get a federal law that encompasses all of AI to get some sanity out of this. Because if you can do AI legally in Delaware, where you have all your companies so you pay less taxes … Why should they wanna do real music and real art in New York when they can just go to Delaware and do AI? No. You need a federal law that encompasses the entire country. And I would highly recommend, and I would hope the entire planet really gets together. It’s an issue for the UN to get a world body to accept it."
