What's up friends? I'm Paco Ángel, guitarist of Legión And today I come to comment on a very delicate subject: Art, where we draw a line to understand what art is. Art is the highest expression of a human being's feelings. But what happens now if a machine tries to create that art? Where is the expression of the human being? Uh, I think that with what we're currently experiencing, with artificial intelligence, which is creating, uh, music, is creating, uh, issues that were part of the essence of the human being itself, well, uh, it's stealing a little bit of our identity. So I think we should, uh, legislate, we should have laws that protect us. As authors, as composers, as musicians and as human beings to understand and separate art from what it is not.

What's up friends? Fito Méndez, vocalist of Legión, a Guatemalan band. And I want to tell you that in my case, in the case of my band, we are in complete agreement on using technology to be able to create musical themes, to be able to support each other, to be able to create visuals and so many beautiful things that artificial intelligence allows us to do. What we don't agree with is that artificial intelligence is being used to plagiarize our voices, our faces, our musical notes, our creations, and that it is plagiarized in some way to be used in works that ultimately have no creator and that greatly harms us in our work. We don't want to lose our jobs, because art is an inspiration that God gave us, and we owe it to ourselves, and our audience is the one who receives all of that. We are part of our country's culture, so we must legislate. We artists must unite so that soon there will be legislation that protects us against artificial intelligence when it harms our rights.

Hello, I'm Di WAV, a Guatemalan musician and singer-songwriter. I believe that artificial intelligence should not only protect, but respect music and those who create it. For this reason, I believe it is very important that those who make the laws stand firm in protecting us from predators, like the representatives of musical culture in our country.
