New Brunswick Radio Station Accidentally Plays AI-Generated Song

The song, "Je m'offre à toi" aired on CKRO-FM, CBC reports, though the station didn't learn until after that the song and its singer, Océanne Chamberland, is an AI creation.

A New Brunswick radio station set an accidental precedent for Canadian radio.

CKRO-FM played an AI-generated song, "Je m'offre à toi," marking a first for a Francophone community radio station in Canada. CBC News reports that the station wasn't aware of the song's AI content when they played it, as the song had been added into rotation through an automated system.
