The project is in response to a proposed change to UK copyright law allowing AI companies to use copyrighted work without a license. 1,000 Artists Release Silent AI Protest Album Is This What We Want?

Artists including Kate Bush and Cat Stevens made an album of white noise in empty studios, protesting a U.K. proposal to give AI firms access to copyrighted music.

Kate Bush's first album in 14 years is here — but there's a twist. On Tuesday, Feb. 25, the "Running Up That Hill" singer, along with Imogen Heap, Blur's Damon Albarn and hundreds of other musicians released a silent album in protest of AI using their work following a proposed change to the UK's copyright laws.
