Czech ice dancers Katerina Mrazkova and Daniel Mrazek recently skated to music generated by an artificial intelligence system at the Olympics, but their performance was marred by controversy when it was discovered that the AI had produced music that was eerily similar to existing works.

The incident highlights the challenges of using AI-generated content, particularly when it comes to creative works like music. While AI can produce impressive and innovative pieces, it can also rely heavily on existing sources, leading to issues of plagiarism and copyright infringement.

Mrazkova and Mrazek’s experience serves as a cautionary tale for athletes and artists looking to incorporate AI-generated content into their performances. As AI technology continues to evolve, it will be important to develop strategies for ensuring the originality and authenticity of AI-generated works.
