Ivors Academy<\/a>, the European Music Managers Alliance, the European Composer and Songwriter Alliance (ECSA), the Music Artists Coalition and more.<\/p>\n\u201cWe are increasingly concerned that songwriters and artists are being given little real choice,\u201d the letter reads.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose in existing deals are being informed of default AI opt-ins, while those signing new deals are being asked to accept AI rights clauses as standard contract terms.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another component of the letter is for fair compensation, meaning that if an artist chooses to participate in AI-related uses, they share in the profits and value made.<\/p>\n
\u201cSongwriters must not be expected to sign away their rights without proper authorisation, fair remuneration and full transparency,\u201d said Robert Neri, Ceo of The Ivors Academy.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis means having a meaningful say in how their work is used, clear information about the deals being proposed, the ability to give or withhold consent and a fair share of the value created.\u201d<\/p>\n
The letter also pushes for more clarity and transparency, meaning that they are given \u201cclear, timely and understandable information about any AI-related deal or proposal.\u201d<\/p>\n
The push for change comes as the use of AI in music has become increasingly prominent in recent years; 44% of all daily music uploads on Spotify are now AI-generated.<\/p>\n
Although Spotify has cracked down significantly on this content, removing over 75 million spam tracks and implementing stricter filters to prevent AI music from being recommended to users.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A letter calling for greater protections for artists has been signed by 29 worldwide organisations representing songwriters.
