AI and Copyright
AI and Copyright represents a critical intersection in the music industry where artificial intelligence technologies challenge traditional copyright frameworks. This theme encompasses legal debates around AI training on copyrighted music data, the copyrightability of AI-generated compositions, and fair use considerations. The U.S. Copyright Office maintains that works created solely by AI cannot be copyrighted¹, while AI-assisted human creations may qualify for protection². Key issues include whether training AI models on copyrighted music constitutes infringement³, artist consent for AI voice replication, and the need for new legal frameworks to address generative AI's impact on music creation and distribution.
