🚨 www.RightsAndAI.com is a new, global, open & practical resource to help prevent #AI infringement. As any tool, #AI can be used for good or bad. Demystifying is key. AI is a multifaceted software, often deployed by commercial entities. Those companies have responsibilities for ℎ𝘰𝑤 it is used & must comply with all relevant laws. The music industry's experience is that many do not when it comes to digital music, Large Language Models & #GenAI. To be clear - there is no legal, commercial or moral excuse for ingesting, training or generating #AI on the world's licensed #digital #music without consent. ICMP is working to ensure all incoming AI #laws worldwide ensure high standards of copyright. This new interactive resource - now in 5 languages, 8 next week - defends the world's songwriters, composers & creators by enabling rightholders to 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙚 their rights against scraping & non-rightholders to 𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙤𝙧𝙨𝙚 legal, fair & ethical AI markets. It works on a legal level (rights reservations) and a metadata level (for online content crawlers). "𝐍𝐨 𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭 & 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧".

💻 AI Has Already Made As Many Images As Photographers Have in 150 Years. 💻15 billion images in 1 year. Proves again #GenAI is about 𝘢𝑙𝘭 the Big Cs: 🌏 #Copyright - prior authorisation from rightholders required for training to be legal. 🌏 #Contracts - which datasets are each GenAI model trained on...and were they scraped from the internet? 🌏 #Competition - GenAI output trained on human works such as music, image & video without licenses exponentially distorts market competition, which leads to devaluation. Our industry endorses yesterday's joint statement by Federal Trade Commission, EU Competition Policy Antitrust Division Competition and Markets Authority ( https://lnkd.in/gRWa4gWG ) 🌏 Culture - GenAI, specifically machine generated works, must comply with above to ensure future cultural sustainability. Among the many initiatives the international #MusicIndustry is leading to ensure a legal, fair & ethical AI future is: www.RightsAndAI.com Margrethe Vestager Lina Khan Jonathan Kanter Sarah Cardell ( https://lnkd.in/dDeWR5bs via Everypixel)
