Wasted Love is in some way similar to last year's winner, Nemo's The Code, in that it includes soaring operatic vocals. But while the 2024 Victor was more club anthem than aria, Wasted Love is the opposite. Banging beats only appear in the final part of the song. This is the third time Austria has won the international singing competition.

The question is, how much? For example, how much can an artist rely on issuing prompts to AI systems to produce, say, a song, poem or screenplay?

Chapuis says the new report is the result of many conversations with artists, tech companies and others since the Copyright Office released its initial AI guidelines in March of 2023. She adds her office makes determinations about copyright on a case-by-case basis and that grey areas, especially when it comes to cases involving AI, are common. Chloe Veltman, NPR News.

In a statement, White House Correspondents Association President Eugene Daniels said his organization's board unanimously decided to do without a comedian at this year's April 26th dinner in Washington, D.C.

U.S. presidents usually attend, though President Donald Trump chose not to during his first term in office. Ruffin's reps did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
