hello and happy Friday Friday I'm Koy
wire welcome back to CNN 10 and welcome
to Phoenix Arizona I'm here for the
men's NCAA basketball championship and
the final 4 which tip off this weekend
my goodness it is beautiful here love
this place all right we've got three
more days before the solar eclipse
happens and there's a lot of
anticipation building for this awe
inspiring moment in large part because a
total solar eclipse like this one won't
be visible again in the United States
until the year 2044 how old will you be
20 years from now during the solar
eclipse on April 8th more than 30
million people in the US who are located
along the path of totality will
potentially have their view of the sun
completely blocked by the moon but
location and we we are key our Kristen
fiser has more on this Celestial
spectacle that many of us will get to
experience a total solar eclipse like
this one will not be visible from the
United States uh again until 2044 so 20
years from now that's why we're seeing
so many people scrambling to try to find
the best weather and get in position to
see this on Monday um there are a few
other things that make this Eclipse uh
really unique and the first is the
length of time for totality that's the
moment when the moon completely blocks
out the Sun and that's when day will
literally turn toight so dark that the
stars come out nocturnal animals come
out uh that is how dark it gets and so
that moment of totality for this eclipse
is much longer than it was in previous
eclipses at the longest Point it'll be
about 4 minutes and 30 seconds so that's
a good amount of time to really get to
soak in the power of nature in our solar
system another really unique thing about
this eclipse is the fact that it just
happens to coincide with a period of
peak activity on the surface of the Sun
so during that moment of totality things
like solar flares or coronal mass
ejections uh are much more likely than
in previous eclipses and could just make
for some really cool viewing uh but of
course with any Eclipse but this one in
particular
uh the weather is always a factor and
unfortunately it's not looking like it's
going to cooperate in large parts of the
United States along this path of
totality Texas and Arkansas really uh
the weather not looking great there but
places like Southern Missouri and
Indianapolis and Upstate New York and
New England the weather's looking pretty
good there so uh as always before in
Eclipse the eclipse Chasers the die
hards are trying to find that best
weather viewing condition so that they
can see this Eclipse because again if
you don't see this one it's going to be
20 years uh before you get to see
something like this if you live in the
United States Kristen Fischer CNN
Washington Pop Quiz Hot Shot which one
of these artists has won the most
Grammys Taylor Swift Shakira Beyonce or
Stevie
Wonder Queen be Beyonce is the correct
answer here she's the most awarded
artist in Grammy history with a record
32
wins music is an art and it's so
important to so many of us right but
what happens when artificial
intelligence replicates or replaces our
beloved artists voices it might be a
good topic of discussion for you and
your friends does AI change the way you
perceive the songs and voices you love
how does it change the music industry
who all does it impact is AI a threat to
the music industry or what good it bring
more than 200 artists including Billy
ish Stevie Wonder John Bon Joy Katie
Perry and more say yes artificial
intelligence is a threat to the music
industry in an open letter organized by
the nonprofit artist rights Alliance
these artists are asking AI developers
tech companies music platforms and
digital music services to stop the use
of artificial intelligence saying that
it devalues the rights of human artists
CNN's entertainment correspondent
Elizabeth wagmeister has more on the
artist's growing
concerns this is the biggest show of
support that we have seen from a-listers
against AI which of course is a growing
concern in Hollywood and Beyond stars
like Katie Perry Stevie Wonder John Bon
joovie also the Estates of Frank Sinatra
and Bob Marley are calling to stop AI
from replacing human artists they say
that voice cloning will essentially take
away work and take away compensation
from singers songwriters rights holders
now this is not an issue that is going
away anytime soon right the technology
is here to stay and now what's going to
happen in Hollywood is what do we do
with it how do you protect these artists
we do see some legislation happening
this is an issue that is uh going to
Congress we just saw Tennessee was the
first state to pass an act to bring some
rights and protections to the artist but
we also have artists who appreciate AI
Paul McCartney recently said that he
actually loves the technology because
last year the Beatles were able to
release what he says is their last song
by taking a track that was recorded by
John Lennon decades ago and using it for
a new song so again very Innovative
technology but can't take away from the
work in the bottom line for all of these
artists

Rhythm we've all heard of a rocking
