Celine Dion is alerting fans against “fake” songs that mimic her voice using artificial intelligence and are making the rounds on the internet.
A number of videos that mimic Celine Dion’s performances or change her voice have surfaced recently, some of which falsely claim to be the singer’s most recent releases.
She has withdrawn from the public spotlight since releasing her last original album, Courage, in 2019, due to her diagnosis of Stiff-Person Syndrome, which has prevented her from making new songs.
In an Instagram post, Celine Dion’s team clarified that songs that purport to be voiceovers are “not approved and are not part of her official discography.”
Additionally, they mentioned that these recordings had appeared on a number of online platforms.
In an interview with Vogue, Celine Dion opened up about first noticing the symptoms of her illness while on the Taking Chances world tour in 2008. “Quite rapidly, I was having difficulty controlling my voice,” she recalled. “It would go really high, and then it would spasm. So the first thing you do as a singer? Well, you go straight to the ENT,” she continued. However, after the doctors couldn’t find anything concrete, “they looked at [my vocal cords] from every angle, and they said it was pristine.”
She completed the tour, but as time passed, things got worse. “I started having a hard time walking. I was holding on to things.”
Before preparing new music, going on tour, or going back to her residency, the “Because You Loved Me” hitmaker has prioritized recovering and regaining her strength, even though she has performed a few times in recent years, including a comeback at the Summer Olympics in Paris last year.

AI is becoming increasingly perilous
AI has developed to the point that it can now produce phony films and mimic the voices of celebrities, making it simple to disseminate false information.
Additionally, AI has imitated Morgan Freeman’s recognizable voice, creating videos in which he appears to narrate material he never filmed.
