Chicagoverse 319 - Dani Deahl x Jeff Becker

House music DJ, dance music producer, and trustee for the Chicago Chapter Board for the Recording Academy Dani Deahl and Jeff Becker, partner at Swanson Martin & Bell LLP, guest on Dynasty Podcasts to discuss their work in helping get HB 4875 passed into Illinois law. The law makes the act of producing unauthorized content utilizing a person’s likeness in the state of Illinois, a protective measure in the largely unregulated age of AI. Deahl and Becker speak on their work in advocating for artists’ rights in Springfield in front of the Illinois General Assembly, dig into the parallels between the digital chaos around generative AI and the Napster moment at the turn of the century, and speak on how AI is impacting the creative process for artists.
