This article in Addictive Tips features insights from Partner Louis Tompros on the legal and ethical implications of AI’s impact on the music industry.
Excerpt: “There are two significant issues surrounding AI in the music industry. The first is the lack of clarity surrounding the rights associated with AI-created music. (…) The second issue concerns protecting artists' work from misuse by AI."
From a legal and ethical perspective, AI-generated music brings about questions of compensation, copyright and the creative interests of the broader music industry. The copyright division of the United States does not recognize AI as a creator, meaning it is in the public domain. However, traditional copyright laws may be essential to ethical usage of this technology for the purpose of protecting both original creators and those who use AI in their work.
