 Akwa Ibom Govt Approves Occupational Safety Department in Public Service The Akwa Ibom State Government has approved the creation of a Department of Occupational Safety in the public service, to be led by a Permanent Secretary under the Office of the Head of Civil Service. The approval was granted during the State Executive Council (EXCO) meeting on Wednesday, presided over by Governor Umo Eno. In a statement on Thursday, Commissioner for Information, Hon. Aniekan Umanah, also announced directives for Sterling Global to halt further land encroachment and creek closures, following complaints from oil-bearing communities. Additionally, the EXCO assigned oversight of the Infrastructure and Asset Management Agency to the Office of the Secretary to the State Government to improve efficiency.

DRAKE AND THE WEEKND SONG COLLAB ABOUT SELENA GOMEZ,REMOVED FROM ALL STREAMING PLATFORMS.READ WHY.(PHOTO).



A new Drake and The Weeknd collab just dropped. Well, not quiteā€¦but an AI-generated song rendered in Drakeā€™s voice featuring another voice that sounds like The Weeknd, called ā€œHeart on My Sleeve,ā€ dominated the FYP this weekend.

The track, which sounds like a back-and-forth between Drake and The Weeknd about Selena Gomez, The Weekndā€™s ex, was released on TikTok by @ghostwriter977, an anonymous producer wearing a white sheet and sunglasses. The TikTok video racked up more than 10 million views despite scratchy audio and faulty vocals.

But the song was removed yesterday not only from TikTok but also from Spotify and Apple Music, where it had been streaming (less virally) since April 4ā€”ostensibly at the request of record label Universal Music Group (UMG), which works with both artists.

Labels want things to go their way
While it may delight the internet, pop-hit-slinging AI is not music to the ears of artists and companies that own the rights to songs. And the threat to their business appears to be growing: AI versions of Rihanna and Eminem have also released unsanctioned tracks in recent weeks.

Though it wouldnā€™t confirm to Rolling Stone that it was responsible for taking down ā€œHeart on My Sleeve,ā€ UMG has been taking steps lately to curb the possibility of unauthorized AI jams.

According to the Financial Times, the company recently hit Spotify and Apple Music with requests to stop their users from scraping content to train AI systems.
UMG says AI parroting musical output could constitute copyright infringement and that it is prepared to protect artistsā€™ rights.
Zoom out: ā€œHeart on My Sleeveā€ may have been scrubbed from major platforms, but AI is recording its debut albumā€”whether music industry executives like it or not. And the labels will still have to deal with what AI expert Roberto Nickson called a ā€œmodern Napster moment.ā€ā€”SK

Listen to the fake song below.
