Universal Music Group has called on the US Congress to enact laws protecting creators and rightsholders against copyright infringement by AI developers and users. At a hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s subcommittee on intellectual property, UMG’s Jeffrey Harleston, General Counsel & EVP of Business and Legal Affairs, shared three laws UMG would like to see enacted, which included a nationwide right of publicity law, the ability of copyright owners to see what has gone into the training of AI models,; and the labeling of AI-generated content.
“AI in the service of artists and creativity can be a very very good thing, but AI that uses or… appropriates the work of these artists and creators and their creative expression… without authorization, without consent simply is not a good thing,.” said Harleston.
