Petition Circulates Protesting Use of David Bowie Song in AI Advertisement
A petition protesting the use of a David Bowie song in an advertisement promoting artificial intelligence is circulating online, urging fans to sign and share it. The petition does not name the specific song or the advertisement in question, but organizers say the placement was done “ignorantly.”
A Reddit user with the handle pugs_and_kisses_ posted about the petition to both r/antiai and r/DavidBowie on July 29, 2026, calling on members of both communities to add their signatures and spread the word. Both posts point to a separate written article said to contain more details about the situation, though that article was not included with the posts.
Why Fans Are Being Asked to Sign
The petition organizer frames the campaign as an effort undertaken “for the sake of David Bowie’s legacy,” according to the post shared in r/DavidBowie. No further details about the petition’s specific demands, its host platform, or the number of signatures it has gathered were included in the posts.
