AI Licensing Is Becoming a Contract Business: What Indie Artists Must Demand Before They Opt In

Making a Scene Presents - AI Licensing Is Becoming a Contract Business: What Indie Artists Must Demand Before They Opt In The AI Fight Is Learning to Speak Contract For the last few years, the music industry’s argument over artificial intelligence has mostly sounded like a fight about permission. AI companies have wanted enormous amounts of material to develop increasingly capable systems, while songwriters, artists, publishers, labels, and other rights holders have been asking a fairly basic question: who gave you permission to use our work in the first place? That fight is far from finished, but something more interesting is beginning to happen alongside it. The conversation is slowly shifting from whether AI companies should license music toward what an actual AI music license should contain, how much it should be worth, and how much control the creator should keep after signing it. http://www.makingascene.org
