Experimenting at the edge of new technology, multidisciplinary artist and composer Holly Herndon has raised an AI, developed a digital twin Holly+, and is now breaking new ground building tools to help artists protect their IP in the rapidly developing AI landscape.  With a doctorate from Stanford's Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics researching “interplay between machine learning and the voice, and the implications of this technology for IP and vocal sovereignty,” and six years of hands-on experience developing her own vocal model, Holly is working to build a future where artists are empowered to work creatively with AI. The key? Consensual training data.
