Bass player Mads Eilertsen is not the only Norwegian artist having had their name and profile taken over by AI, he tells me.

It is, for instance, uh, Tore Gustavsen.
3:00
There's, uh, Mathias Eick.
3:02
I think, uh, Jacob Young has been, uh, exposed for this kind of, uh, fraud.
Lars BevangerCORRESPONDENT

So why do you think these AI copies don't go for the, the bigger artists, like the, you know, internationally hugely successful ones like Taylor Swift or, or, or someone like, uh, Justin Bieber?
3:21
I think there might be two reasons for that.
3:24
One is be- because, uh, they have the power to sue.
3:28
Also because, um, big record companies, which already has big deals with, uh, AI co- companies, so they have this kind of, uh, AI agreement already.
