An ice dance duo skated to AI music at the Olympics

An Olympic first has critics calling the move 'depressing' and 'cooked'.

Deep Dive

Czech ice dancers Kateřina Mrázková and Daniel Mrázek used AI-generated music in their Olympic rhythm dance program. Their song 'One Two by AI' heavily plagiarizes lyrics from the New Radicals' 90s hit 'You Get What You Give'. This marks their second AI music controversy this season, raising ethical questions. While not against official rules, the choice has sparked significant backlash from the artistic community over originality and copyright.

Why It Matters

This sets a precedent for AI in high-stakes creative competitions, blurring lines between innovation and plagiarism.
