Germany's GEMA introduces AI Charter to guide ethical use of artificial intelligence in music

Germany's GEMA has launched an "AI Charter" to establish legal and ethical guidelines for using artificial intelligence in music. This follows GEMA's earlier introduction of a licensing model for AI developers, making it the first organization to address copyright issues in AI training. The charter emphasizes the importance of human creativity and fair compensation for creators. It includes principles such as protecting intellectual property rights and ensuring transparency from AI developers. GEMA aims to foster discussions on responsible AI development and the role of human creativity in the digital age. This initiative aligns with a broader movement among creators and organizations advocating for fair treatment in AI usage. Recent statements from various industry players highlight concerns over unlicensed use of creative works in AI training and the need for responsible practices in music creation.
